It's only my humble opinion, but I don't like USD forks on old bikes, especially LC's. Aesthetically, it just looks too heavy on the front end.

You have a point and they do weigh more, but they have many advantages over the original set up. I fitted the minimalist Koso clock and removed the heavy OE clocks binnacle in an attempt to counter the additional fork/disc/calipers weight. |

[/quote] I'm fitting these to my LC2 hybrid project bike and they actually weigh less than the standard RD forks, unbelievably!😁 Add to these the lighter front wheel (LC2 wheels weigh a ton) and discs and it's actually quite a big weight saving!  |

I was meaning "look heavy" in bulky way, more aesthetics than actual weight.
Anyway I know they have their advantages, you can feel the skinny frame flexing rather than the forks lol

Those RD350 decals are in the wrong place.

The problem is that when you have lived the LC dream through the periods when the bikes and spares were cheap you tend to miss the big picture as times go by. These bikes are on a real roll at the moment. £10k for that bike is a good price and I know that the one I'm doing now will pass that easily by the time I finish. The one for sale at £6600 is good too but to restore it well and do the important engine work that a bike of its age needs may need another £5k at least. They don't make them any more and even worse they don't make 2T's any more. When I finish mine I'll be looking for another project as they are just not only a nice bike but a nice bike to work on with plenty of spares around. If anybody has one they want to unload please let me know.
