Having missed my old LC for years, and spent last summer getting jealous of the bikers, I bought myself a new toy and brought it home at the weekend...



I may have taken it apart already as I don't like the colour, so it's going black Z1b style, with gold disc centres and otherwise a good clean and tidyup.

Already got new tyres, plugs, leads, chain, sprockets, carb rubbers and a years MOT.
Needs an oil change and the carbs cleaning and balancing but that won't take long.

streetfighter it, would look great with a 916 seat unit

Sorry but really no. Half the reason I bought this rather than a bandit is I like the Z1 seat style.

The problem with nearly all 'streetfighters' is that they look gash.

998dave that looks lovely, I really fancy something like that or a cb750f/GSX1100EFE to join my fleet of bikes, I've really got into that era of muscle bikes big time lately

It's looking better in pearlescent black, and will be better still with it's Z1b inspired paintwork over the top.
Give me a few days and I should be able to show more, but as a taster...

Some more painting this weekend;

Seat Unit;


Sidepanels;


And new Renthal bar grips were fitted.

This week is mainly laquering, and finally painting the tank...

And I've started putting it back together, rear wheel back in by Sunday I think, then I can lift the front, and pop that wheel out.
Starting to paint the tank tonight as well - nervous!

[998dave]

Got started on the rear wheel last night, didn't get a piccy of the back before, but here's the front;

Before (Front);


After (Rear);
