I really really like that I’m v fond of a pv engined Lc with semi std looks very much of its time a proper 80’s early 90’s throw back.

Neil Hastings, the original owner and painter, lives near me in Sunbury. Saw him and his brother at Kemton last week buying up Lc parts.

Very nice, best of both worlds with the pv engine. As its been modified i would be tempted to make it your own.
Whats your plan?

Whats your plan? not sure yet, probably going to spoil i and put mirrors on and even indicators  refit oil tank and pump. tempted to fit the rgv250 set on the font and rear ( wheel only) maybe the frame black and paint the barrels. once its apart could go either way. does anyone know where stand with the tax and mot exempt if its modded? |

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo your bike is unique a little bit of history don’t ruin it by following the rgv route. 😁 Just My opinion.
Your bike your choice but I’d be so tempted to keep it that way.

The tax excemption is purely down to age
Motorcycles are excempt from most of the mod rules for mot
Even without that as it currently stands it would comply anyway as what was done back in the day anyway
Wheels/brakes/suspension improvements are allowed too

Your bike your choice but I’d be so tempted to keep it that way. i know exactly what you mean, that is how they were meant to be right. its really got my head thinking what to do with it. do just leave it as was built or just re do i all and keep i kinda the same looking period hybrid would you change anything? what would you do? |

Id tidy it up and just use it and enjoy it, it’s such a unique bike if you look at dustys thread of Facebook pics and the Bike magazine article it’s so that era.
I built an Rgv/Lc/Ypvs hybrid 15 odd years ago they weren’t common today it’s the go to look. IMHO they don’t handle as well as a std bike, they are relatively common. You park your bike up at a meet and I guarantee you’ll get far more interest.
And it’ll be unique.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

I was watching it, and was considering a bid !! I like it the way it is too. I would ride for summer, and maybe strip for a black frame in the winter, but otherwise keep as is. If you got that for close to 5k, you got a bargain  Dusty  |

I quite like it, it just needs a tidy up to be used and enjoyed perhaps. I'd have been more excited if it was as it was in the calendar but those were different days lol
Nothing wrong with RGV upgrades tbh, but you have something thats different here already and we dont see LCs with even ypvs wheels now so its a nice thing to see from that era.
Whatever you decide; Enjoy!
