I have too many spares, so going to build a non--standard LC up. Got a Swedish 4L1 matching frame and casings yesterday. Dropped off casing to Andy AVB last night. Converting frame to UK spec today.  |

Will have standard 4L0 wheels. 31k forks and yokes.
Maybe a 320mm front brake conversion.
Choice of paint...Mars bar blood black, Pink Kenny Roberts, or White Blue Bounty kit.

UK spec For the completely uninitiated like me, can I ask what makes it UK/non-UK spec? S. |

Most Euro spec bikes have a steering lock sticking out the left side of the headstock. UK bikes have a pin which comes out the ignition lock and hits the curved bit at the top front of the headstock.

Engine had new gearbox bearings fitted at school in the Engineering club. Crank refurbished by Ron at Fahron. A few little jobs and the bottom end will be ready.   |

The engine had a rebuilt crank from Ron (Fahron) and has all new gearbox bearings fitted. All gears and selector forks are in good condition. Just waiting for a nice 370cc top end from Ron, which should be ready in a few weeks time.
I have refurbished switchgear ready to go and refurbished 4L0-01 carbs.

Just waiting for a nice 370cc top end from Ron, which should be ready in a few weeks time. I have refurbished switchgear ready to go and refurbished 4L0-01 carbs. Looking good. Just out of interest, how does Ron do the 370 conversion? Is it a complete re sleeve? DT175 pistons? |

Yes, he bores the cylinders fully out then fits a new sleeve with nice porting. 68mm 66mm pistons. He also converts a 250 head to suit.
