Re: RZ Tanks From India

Same goes for any 'classic' repros from India, buyer beware.

I've seen a Norton tank that hadn't even been leak-tested,
& turned out to be riddled by pin-holes from crappy welding, too.

Re: straight RD 250/350 LC headlight ears/mounts

Does anyone know if they are similar-to-same as other early `80s Yamaha items?

Re: Athena and or Dynatek stickers

At a pinch Jon, you could photo-copy them onto photo-paper,
or download the images & print them off onto photo-paper, maybe?

Re: 350lc for sale

Dunno what I’m doing with it yet, never had a stock Lc, find them rather dull. However a full resto guarantees a good solid return, not that I really give a shit about the money but it’s nice to get something back. Anyone used Fzr 3ln ? Looks like the rear goes straight into Lc swinger, front would...

Re: IoM 2T

Too bad Suter - again - didn't get it properly sorted,
well before arriving at the event to race.

So - it was no quicker than the 'classic' (old bikes)
superbike lap record holding YZR 500, set at the
Manx G.P. event last year - by Kiwi Bruce Anstey.

NS400R to 500cc upgrade kit.

Any NS400R owners wanting to go - full 500?

Its a real nice bit of kit.. if perhaps.. a tad pricey - for some.

Re: wanted yamaha rdlc 350 cylinders.

Graham, sorry I can't directly help you with your quest*, but what are "350 t2" parts, not TZ 350, by any chance?

* US Chrome can 'recover' worn, final OS bores.. & re-sleeving is yet another option..

Re: Brand new aftermarket LC2 / 31k / 29L loom

Re: Brand new aftermarket LC2 / 31k / 29L loom

Jon, to be fair - I do think your loom offer is very likely going to be less fuss 'n' bother, ( & damn, that $ exchange rate - is cruel!) but surely you can't quibble with the fact.. - that aftermarket looms are not, as you claimed "...now NLA".. OK yeah, the sticklers for US RZ origin...

Re: Brand new aftermarket LC2 / 31k / 29L loom

If anyone is interested.. US outfit HVC Cycle currently offer an RZ/LC2 loom..
but @ US $ 210.00.. & it would, with post etc - added,
- likely cost 'bout the same - as what Jon is asking..
