Re: Kenny Roberts RD gold wheel addition (LOL)
Thx gents - recognize the signals Rob (lol)? & interesting I never thought I had to travel 6154kms to find 'em. Searching for a helmet - fancy the 2012 AGV Guy Martin - colour match the bike but yissh pricy. Just got a part from the Pope - Vatican city religous book store oddly. I thought he would be more of a Vispa kinda guy. Found a bonus bike bit on the inside cover. Debating weather to put it on the bike. Micron fork brace came fm the Isle of Man - and its the plan to bring it right back there hopefully.

Re: Kenny Roberts RD gold wheel addition (LOL)
I have sold one pile of parts off 1 black donor LC. Hated to break it but when I see parts going on bikes all over the world it makes me feel better. Plus the cash raised goes straight into my RZ's, which helps them live on!

Re: Kenny Roberts RD gold wheel addition (LOL)
Really nice looker & yes the paint reminds me of another lc
Re: Kenny Roberts RD gold wheel addition (LOL)
Yes, Jon's blog was certainly inspirational regarding the colour scheme without a doubt. Decided to leave the big bore challange (sounds like a hunting trip) for the next project. Still have a few adjustments to make however - like what to do with the side stand spring retention nob (inside) from continual scatching the micron left pipe. Just use the centre stand - think not. Want to avoid grinding after having to destroy a OEM off set gas cap for the tank. Wrapped the nob with electrical tape as a temp measure. Time to ponder.

Re: Kenny Roberts RD gold wheel addition (LOL)
Looks great. Combines my two favourite things, the look of the LC and the color scheme of the KR Special Edition.

Re: Kenny Roberts RD gold wheel addition (LOL)
Looks like you are in need of a rubber. Some silcone would like be another temp solution but can't think of anything off top of head that would be proper size on there.
Re: Kenny Roberts RD gold wheel addition (LOL)
Odd.. your sidestand / spring nub Shouldn't be anywhere near those Microns.
Quick guess is that those or not properly mounted ? Or something is well bent.
Took Me over a solid day's work to decently fit Microns.
Had to saw off the Hanger brackets,
Make New ones and then reweld them on in a 'better' location. Locked the things on 'perfectly' then welded on the brackets.
My guess is that their Maker had a sloppy Jig.
As result the pipes hug the frame V nicely, fit perfectly and Clear everything.
Although I have NO centre stand fitted.
PS: the Sidestand spring thing didn't hit my Microns, even before the remount work.

Re: Kenny Roberts RD gold wheel addition (LOL)
maybe the side stand to mount fork location is well worn allowing the spring to pull it in towards the pipe.?
