The Start Of It All


Sean

Recommended Posts

Basically it will eventually become a 4L0 or 4L1 Hybrid, ive got nearly 2 years to do it due to the fact im still restricted to 33bhp until october 6th 2011 :P And lets face it, i won't be riding it in the winter so lets say march/april 2012 :thumbsup: I recently came into a small amount of money with the loss of a family member last year so have bought a complete YPVS in order to use its engine :oops: Now im after an LC rolling chassis if theres anyone out there that has one taking up room in their garage. Here's the progress so far....

When we picked her up last week

looks like tzr125r ''belgarda'' better known as the italian one. makes a change from rgv equipped bikes

The forks are Paoli's so probably this ^.

you are doing with this EXACTLY what I want to do with the large pile (about 1 and a half) 4L0's I have.

Im very interested in exactly what model of TZR you get the front-end off and also what model the rear-wheel comes from - and whats involved in fitting said rear-wheel.

I dont like the RGV swingarms on LC's as the extra length looks silly in my opinion.

need to find a YPVS engine and loom though - have a completely rebuilt (but still in parts) 4L0 engine to sell - the top-end is reputed to be a Bob Farnham one - its never been run. Onece Ive sold that, and the 250 motor I have, I should hopefully have enough dosh for a reasonable YPVS lump to rebuild.

Please keep this thread up to date!

update time, Engines now in, well emprty cases with barrles and head on, starting to mock up brackets to mount the servo for the powervalves etc. Now ive got to locate a TZR125 Belgarda swing arm. So many in Germany so might have to get one sent to the Uk :eusa_whistle:

Quick update, swingarm back from beadblasting, removed all the anodising thanks headcoats (1966) for the tip. New rear caliper, tiny little 4 pot.

Really like the loctite scheme, anyone have anymore pics?
