Here's my 230e and my Yamaha RD350LC. Both have taken a fair bit of work to get where they are, anyone else into 80's two strokes?   |

Hello matey, nice to see you in these parts. Hope this place is going to encourage you to bring that very tidy car of yours a little closer to the ground.  Do you have a helmet and leathers to match the bike? That would be awsome! |

I've visited the site since I saw the sticker on your car window  Now I've got the springs sorted,(real nightmare) I've just got the welding to finish, and yes I've got a matching helmet  |

Here's my last retro ride, wish I still had it. Went to a guy in Southend if anyone's seen it about, I'd love to buy it back   |

^^^ Now that is oofsome, nice colour
I had less hassle getting the rears out than the fronts, did you shear any of the rear shock bolts? Next time I do that job there'll be plenty of heat before I start, two of mine went putting the short springs on mine.

No problem with the bolts, I just wish I'd known about the internal spring compressor before trying to do the job with a cheap external set off ebay!

That is one of the nicest RD's I've ever seen..... I've had a few moto-x bikes all 125 strokers, a few or my mates had rgv's, KR 1's and one had a NSR 400.... really nice bike. Oh the Merc is nice too...

The pipes are Gibsons, made to the original Allspeed design, but they can't call them Allspeeds because Micron own the name! I should post a pic of the other side so you can see the rear disc conversion, done using a front wheel in the back.
