As usual there were a few 'Scrambler' W650 / 800's there.Anyone know what this is about? It looks like a homage to a 'On any Sunday' Husky

Looks like it's been done properly, and will be a definite improvement handling and braking wise over standard LC, but it just looks wrong to my eyes. The major benefit is loads of room (in fact too much) to work on the carbs. And I suspect it will be a bit heavier than standard LC. So a neat job, but no thanks.

GK76 GSXR400s handle superbly (they're fast and reliable as well) so it should handle nicely, I know a man who has made a 700 LC and has put the engine in a GK76 frame.

Where's Cheesy when you need him...



If you don't got Freindface, it's a nice ish looking FZ750 with a 1000 motor and loads of TRX850/FZR600 cycle parts to make it a bit more modern.

Graham Beale's bike, he's had it years, it's barely been ridden in the last 5 years, nice bloke for a Brummy ( "I'm not from Birmingham, I'm from Redditch, I don't sound like a Brummy" )
