Hang on... just back up a step. Are you telling me that you have a number of LC's just sitting around in a shed doing NOTHING??????

What the hell is wrong with you? What's the going rate for these pieces of junk?

Playing this weekend . XS650 disc machined down for Brembo caliper .
Change of the tail section and different tank . My tank is coming , borrowed one for fitting pusposes . Also a bit of a weight reduction programme with a heap of lugs and crap cut off . Still had the steering lock on it Different ingnition sorted to get rid of the battery .

I have 1 *complete* LC, which has had some frame mods already completed (typical race stuff, all the additional unwanted lugs etc removed), at least 1 other frame and a couple of spare bottom-ends (and assorted other engine bits...), all up I guess there would be enough stuff to build 1 racer and 1 streetbike.

Most of my RD stuff is for the earlier air-cooled models....

Billy - that front end looks the goods mate !!! Nice work...all nice and period-legal stuff as well....

Side note Ardy, the Moms / Gcr's is available on line from the MA web site

What a waste of a decent set of brakes. What you really need is some LC brakes. I'll swap you if it helps you out.

Got any spoked air-cooled wheels going for a good rate? They aren't any lighter, and don't perform any better... I just reckon they look cool!!

Is that for Mark?

I know its a bit of a waste Ardy coz I wont want to use them if I want to stay anywhere near you and the rest of the SA Elsie boys . Some SA lads were at the Southern and they were quick !!
Will keep my eyes open for a Brembo if you really want one . Have another disc already . The cheap way to get alloy rims is to snoop around the dirt bike wreckers for the right size rim off the rear of trail/dirt bikes . Can be had for $30 Getting them respoked is expensive . Yamaha are a bit parts bin builders so its suprising what will fit on different bikes .

Note to self , chain Pit Bull to front end while camping at Mac Park

We are tenting at one of the caravan parks. The girls didn't want the kids roaming around the track camp site at night. Soft I say.

However, i think it's going to be an awesome weekend.

Looking Good Billiam, Was having brake drama's on the waki. Jerked a MC from a cbr150 & it actually nearl stops now.
Cheers Nannna

Fresh off the CNC is my new disc. Had to make a bracket to move the caliper out.... Hopefully the stock forks don't snap in half with all this extra braking force!

Looking good Ardy Especially the way you have the brake line mounted , I really like that part

thtas to stop the forks from snapping mate

Hahaha, exactly. The new disc caused so much braking power that I had to back something off a little.
