    Well I've got one meet my Yamaha RD 350 LC with a YPVS motor. She needs loads of love and attention so if you have any spares in your garage let me know.

    The plan is to change the front end for an RGV 250 VJ22 or later, set of clip ons, I'm going to fit Nikon pipes, strip and refresh the engine, frame, swingarm and engine casings powder coated black, wheels powder coated white. Tank and plastics white with red Kenny Roberts blocks. A set of sticky tyres and it should be complete in time for easter.

    Should look something like this.

    used t have wet dreams over them elsies when i were younger.. thinkin about it..still do..lol.. would love to have another stroker in me shed but after the horror bill for me old nsr rebuild its cheaper and more reliable to have newer bikes.. and still have the wet ones... :)

    You would rather a wet dream over an lc ? When you were growing up did you want to be an accountant ?

    You don't pay anyone to re build a stroker, the whole idea is you can do it yourself with a Haynes manual. I can appreciate that the wets are reliable but there not much fun :D

    They are becoming a bit rare Lee but I think its a standard Mod, far to many people returning them to standard, I think they look better like the one above :D
