After a twelve month hiatus I got a roadworthy for my 250LC today - very excited. Here is a pic to excite you too!!

Very nice, very OEM (except for the black fork legs :twisted: ).

Now for an attack on Mt Glorious :P .

And the grey cylinder block - it actually has RZ forks on it, I'm tempted to put a second disk on the front but I'll see how much I scare myself first

And it looks prettier now because I polished the wheels when they were off for the new tyres.

Thanks for the compliments - she was a right royal shit box when I bought it so nice to be able to plan to engine it.

I nearly said it had RZ forks on it, but I couldnt be sure when I was looking at the small resolution pic.

The cyls do need some paint and yes a 2nd brake disk would be better :)

Jon, if you can pick them as RZ forks, other than been black, then you are a better then me Gunda Din :D .

I've got RZ on my LC as well PK. You can barely pick the difference looking at the bike but the ride is like chalk and cheese.

Not that under sprung under dampened whimpy 32's ever slowed them down any 'back in the day'. :wink: Although on second thoughts Allan Carter probably wished for a little more frame/suspension integrity 8O

You should ease up on the greens then Jon.
As we're in anorak time, nice 31K mudguard to go with the 31K forks ;-)
