$12,000 LC WA - Anyone We Know?

1982 Yamaha RD421 Stroker.
This bike is custom all the way but includes the following items;
New custom paint
RGV USD forks and Rear Swinger
RZ350 engine with Hinson HD Clutch pack & TZ spring assembly
Titanium balanced Crank +4 rods
Port mapped casings
All new bearing throughout and TZ roller main bearings
Athena 392cc barrels / stroked to 421cc
Trinity Stage IV Cool head & domes
Custom CNC Thermo housing
HD PWR radiator
Custom alloy oversize air cowel
Zeeltronic Ignition system (10 point dual mapping)
New Powercoated Front and back RGV wheels
Custom Alloy Chain guard
Digital Koso dashboard display with full diagnostics(oil / water temp / rev limter)
Custom seat cover
Clip-on Rozzi bars
Wicked polished S/S pipes with BW S/S oversize cans
The frame is stock - non molested
Loads of custom chrome

Apart from that its stock standard... so it will suit someone who wants to go hybrid and finish off whats been a labour of love over the last 4 years. Over $15,000 gone into the bike.

(If I was selling a bike for $12,000 I would have taken a little more care with the photos :oops: )

I haven't done this much work to an LC but a guesstimate of $15000 spent is probably about right.

Looks like the same fella selling the expensive RZ recently, from the UK.

Probably not.

12k seems reasonable for what you are getting considering recent sales figures but finding a buyer for it that can stump up that much cash might be difficult.

Yep same guy, Brian or Oiler on the forums. Im gutted he's selling must be something going on with him to sell all his toys like this. :(

I would attest that he has spent the 15k he says he has on this one for sure having a similar bike and knowing what hes done to his.
