Happy to oblige. Since this pic I have fitted standard exhaust, airbox and handlebars. It's funny that we spent our youth tuning these things and now it seems more important to have them as standard as possible.

Thanks Cap'n thats a lovely LC.

I was of an impressionable ages when these came out but ended up with the first generation 350YPVS by the time I'd past my test. My mates had 250 & 350 LCs, also KHs and GTs it really was a golden era for me.

<misty-eyed at seeing such a sweet LC> :cry: :)

I owned a 350 Power Valve in '84/5 - had the motor re-built by Stan Stephens who totally f*cked it up. Un-equal squish between the cylinders - it would hole the l/h piston every 500 miles. Wasn't until I learnt to use solder that I realised.

Took it into Bob Farnham's and it was sorted properly. Bloody flew that thing, and with the Pete Gibson spannies made your ears bleed. Got some photos of it somewhere.

My old TL600 Pantah could out accelerate an RGV250 that was ten years younger than it. (pissed Rev Fred right off when I did that.... :D:D:D )
