New project bike.
|
Being the helpful and friendly bloke that I am, I've taken on a project
for someone I know...building a 1981 Yamaha RD350LC race bike from
scratch, to be run in the Yamaha Past Masters series.
The guy wants a proper potential winner, so the budget is fairly open.
YPM regs allow for TZR250 2MA or 1KT wheels, forks and yokes, so I'm
trying to source those along with a complete TZR250 rear brake system.
We can also use a single Yamaha 'Blue-Spot' caliper on the right side,
so if anyone knows of an R1 or R6 that can donate this part then please
let me know. I'm probably going to end up buying a complete knackered
TZR250 to rob for the forks/wheels/rear brake etc and flog the rest off
for spares.
I'm getting a well known and respected tuner to sort the engine for me,
the guy has been tuning LCs since they were first heard of and has a
history of building winners, but the chassis is down to me.
If anyone knows of any TZR250 complete front ends and wheels or even
very cheap 350LC 4L0 spares then please email me.

We've got one already, and it's very nice.

That's a pavement cutter-upper!

Wow Loz, that sounds like a brilliant project.
|
I have to do some fork seals before I can start it. Twice now I've been
sent the wrong ones, so still waiting for the right ones to arrive.

You just can't get the staff nowadays can you?
|
Apparently not. My local bike shop are doing all they can, but it's
their supplier who keeps getting it wrong.

P.s. Champ, I've already signed up to Neil's TZR site.
