Hi all

For my straight alloy one





I did this




Unless you looked closer your would not even see it




Easy to get too and easy to clean plus why hide a nice shiny part away under a tank

Hi Roo

No summer photo before the rear drum problem

Just there is not much room above the carbs and made more sense  to use the space below

Not for the purest but anybody purists looking at the bike will be moaning about the front and rear disc conversion rather than a position of a fuel filter and how could I carry out this type of wonton vandalism of a classic

Almost as much of a sin as owning a non matching numbers RD350LC

But not guilty of that one

Aye but its vandalism for a reason, whether financial, performance or sheer want, who cares its not their bike ;D I like a period correct bike thats completely OE but sometimes you simply have to......... for what ever reason.
I wont do form over function though, thats a silly idea. some of the tyres and running gear they're putting on these "cafe racer/brat/desert sled thingies is incredible. I'm no racer, I can cab on if required when the need appears  but some of the awful stuff they're 'gluing' and making fit onto these bikes is simply against physics and ultimately safety. Anway old fart rant over 8)

..........However, you ARE showing off now ;D, and besides that one under the covers is not a matching frame so give over, it looks nothing like one, the engine bolt, lock washers and colour of the heads on the bottom yolk clamps are all wrong ;D ;D
