The Lc's Page

 

Here we are then. This people, is the Lc part of the site, which surprisingly, features LC's. One word to sum them up? Nuts? Yes. NUTS. LC's are nuts. Mad, insane, not all there, you get the idea. I have only owned one 'real' 350LC, I've had a mark three 125, and the previously mentioned PowerValve motor in LC frame. The bike I had, known for some odd reason as the Free Fool, was pretty quick. Used as I was to the benefits of the powervalve motor, I expected it to be a handful. But it wasn't. It was quick, then at around 6500rpm, it got a whole lot quicker.

 

Here it is. The Free Fool, in all it's glory before some idiot went and blew it up. Something tells me that the paint is based on the Wrangler machine. Classic machine though, this photo was taken by Matt, the previous owner, before I got my sweaty hands on it. I added rearsets and a new ignition coil and away we went. Shame I got hold of it really. Nevermind, your turn now Tom!

Here is Tom's university project. Not for the course you understand ( unfortunatly, he'd say ), but to while away the time in between lectures. This is one clean looking valve, are we all agreed on that? Yes? Good. Definately a new approach to keeping your pride and joy safe. Virtually sleeping with it isn't he? Should be out soon we hope.

 

 

This is the LC that did it for me. A PowerValve motor in LC frame. Great machine for wheelying, i've had this two up (madam!) in third! Mental bike. Siezed it up twice before i swapped it for and FZR400R-SP, of the old vintage. I joined the LC club when i had this, defintely a worth while thing to do, as they have loads of members with plenty of experience.

And here is another picture of it. At some point, the black Allspeeds that where on it got replaced with these Microns on account of the Allspeeds cracking at the manifold. I was having to have them welded every two or three days by now. The Microns are sprung so it removed the risk of cracking, but the performance was shite compared with the Allspeeds, taking it from the wheeely machine to something that could barely stay with a 250LC.
