That is identical to mine, except I have a bit of paint flaking from the front rim and mudguard.

Quick question or 2 m8.

How clunky is your gearbox?

Do you get a small rattle under load at low revs.? Sounds chainy.

Its only done 33k so it shouldn't be going through the CC yet.

Edit. Ref the CBR. Nice Gamma. Great to see some Big Strokers are still around.

aaaahhh,,,,sacrillige..lolol its1984 v4 500lc stroker...!gamma!,,tuh kidz of today eh?....
heh.in the background is me faithful suicide bike rd350lc.
gearbox on mine clunky 1-3rd but usually do clutchless there on and is smooth,ist always give a clunk when engaging,quite embarrasing sometimes~(i tend to start it in gear in company lol)have replaced the cush drive rubbers and that helped cut down the clunk initially.
no rattles but adjusted cct to a very slight whine,ive sussed she seems to use a tiny bit of oil and shes only done 23k in 15 years,as long as the oil is topped up theres no engine rattles at all.
as you can see,im still having grief with the oversize exhaust d/pipes and fairing lowers wont meet up so have wired it up for now.
in process of making a single seat conversion for her with a seathump/toolbox where the pillion was.
trub is im also rebuilding the triumph and money is tight

Whoops, thought it was the RG. Now I see the YPVS The rd350lc will sky rocket in price soon m8! They dont make them like that anymore.

Good ideas always get wasted by lack of funds, or money draining kids.

kids...yeh,im lucky that way,i only spit blanks lol.
the 500lc just been valued at 4 grand(one owner 2.5kmileage fsh etc.n goes extremly well to the point of being very scary and life threatening.)
the 350 is 4 owner but more or lees 100%orig and 4k mileage and they valued it at £1500 to 2000 in its present state,so worth sitting on both i think for my pension.

Well, they cant devalue now can they Sitting on a sure thing there.

I have actually had a car veer over the dividing lines just to block me m8. It seems bikers are disliked over here. I lived in Spain for 3 yrs and lunatic driving ability aside, they do seem more aware and tolerant of 2 wheelers.

rofl, why not go all out and have 2 mounts put on either side for a couple of SMG, just like the Army Harleys. I know why you dress up as a copper, its to get them to part to let you through. Now thats just lazy
