Since my other LC went last week, I though it was time to get the next one down from the loft... Found the frame and swingarm, and some cylinders on low rebore. Pic  |

This bike will be for sale once it is completed, so anyone interested can PM me and it can be customised to your requirements.

I need to get some stash used up to clear more space. I have 4 painted LC body kits up the loft, my carbon street Tyga RS250 bodywork, one more donor LC engine, 2 boxes of LC clocks, 8 pairs of cylinders, 3 standard LC exhausts, 4 microns, 2 stainless Gibson pipes, about 10 LC wheels stripped ready for refurb and a few good plastic parts....
I will be getting one more frame to build another LC to sell after this one as I have enough spare parts here.

I will be working on getting a rolling chassis together first. I have the refurbed front wheel and the forks I had off Dusty. Just got a top yoke powder coated. Need to find a good pair of discs, bolts and locking tabs.
The swing arm has got scuffed in storage, so needs to go to get done again. I have a new YSS shock ready. I also have all the spindles re-plated ready to go.

Found a decent head but it is cosmetically challenged, so getting it bead blasted to clean it up, will then get it skimmed then powder coated. Dropped off cylinders to blast and powder coat before rebore.
Also spotted some storage marks on the powder coated swing arm, so that has gone in to be done again. Should be done for Friday. :-)

Quite refreshing though. |

Back on this again. Found a few marks on the frame, so had them repaired and got the frame powder coated again.
Cylinders and head have now been powder coated. They are now away being skimmed and rebored.
Just put the new locking tabs and bolts on the front wheel.
Sorted the cups for the headstock ball bearings and got some new balls.
Got all the clock parts ready to build.

(cough) you're meant to fold down one end of the locking tab. But I know you know that. And I know that you know I knew that.
Why did the frame need a second powder coat Rob?

The frame had a few scuffs underneath from being dragged around and also found a couple of small dents which I got welded up.
I have not locked the tabs over yet as I have just ordered some deep 3/8" single hex sockets so I don't mark the bolt heads when I torque them to spec.
