2 Strokes Down Under

I expect they'd be ISO metric/Nippon Standard screws..
Jon, why not go to the nearest pick-a-part, & find some..

White really shows how well the original LC body-style works.. Those 'clunky' looking after-market items might be 'disguised' by an angular paint scheme though.. BRG, start photo-shopping! As for the weirdo-beardo job, where's the bloody exhaust wrap tape? That'll cost him a least a grand off his as...

Or, you could contact Marlboro..
& offer to do a 'tribute' - paint scheme..
..for a 'sponsorship' deal in $..
..to turn up at shows..

Looking good, & nearly there..

& yet.. those 'speed bars' could morph a bit more..

They look pretty good in red. Orange Yellow Green Etc! One of those designs that can carry off many colour schemes. I agree, BRG - park one next to a Norton Commando roadster, & you can see the similarities in shapes & line, a given since the LC was styled in Europe by the same team of Brit...

Might be.. worth getting an opinion/quote.. on a rebuild..

The LC 'De Carbon' gas-damper is of quality enough to be worth doing..
.. at least, that's what I've found..

To be sure, those bloody 'navvies' had to sweat some back in the day.. Many of those big roading 'projects' were 'make work' for unemployed ex-WW I 'diggers', such as the Great Ocean Road in Vic, & the Nurburgring/Autobahnen in Germany... These days of course, the only reason one of those 'road ...

A wee while back the Nippon market had complete RZ bodywork sets - including the tank, ~ that price..

TR, you do know that the Mikuni 'choke' is not actually a 'choke' as such, it is an extra fuel feed circuit... ..so while needed for cold starting, once the bike is moving, it shouldn't be left on, as some 4T's require.. You could swap the screw-in plunger 'choke' unit - from another compatible carb...

Not sure what difference pipe volume and length would make between a 250 and 350 motor... I have slung a set of late ( 'bean can' end-type) stock RZ 250 pipes on my commuter `85 RZ350 F1* , - after it spat out the remnants of a broken baffle from its 'cigar' pipes, & back to back performance-wi...

Bummer hybrid, so what broke?

& matty, if you couldn't gap a hog-style cruiser, a fat greaser Guzzi, on your well up-specced RZ,
then I guess the Guzzi rider is a real hot-shot.. so, did you swap bikes, & try again?

B, the 2017 Husky/KTM 2Ts changed to Mikuni TM carbs, I'd suggest checking a dedicated site on the 2T KTM/Husky, & seeing if your plug issue is a common problem & what the usual fix is.. In general, with today's powerful ignition, such fouling problems are a either a carb tune/premix issue, ...

Here's a DFI 2T head, using a 'swirl' injection set-up: www.sonexresearch.com/technologies/3743046

A transfer port EFI system, that is Euro 4 emissions compliant..

Good stuff KTM, next - a 300 2T EFI Duke road bike, ta..

Clear pipe lets in bubbles?

Oh, righto, that'll be why I can't bleed brakes firmly using clear...
Ah, wait on.. yes, I can..

( & nor have I had any problem using them as oil feed lines, except for age hardening, which happens to 'em all, anyhow..)
