Hey everyone long time ^-^ Ended up selling the f800gs last year so while I'm in between Beemer's I've been riding my Norton 650SS as a daily rider and restoring a few classics. Including a 1944 RAF Norton 16H
So a few will remember I had a rd250lc in Mars Bars that I absolutely loved ended up selling it to fund my Aircooled 250c with the plan of eventually rebuilding my other 250lc properly as a few know our family print company went under the other year so been helping dad with house stuff an having a mini career break which means things have been a lil tight.
Was so nice out today I decided to get my 250lc frame out an see how far I could get from a few bits I had an some old rough bits.
Managed to get all the chassis together an luckily got most of the stuff for the engine just gotta get all the cables send my pump off an get the engine seals.
Oh an some tyres which is gonna eat up the none existent budget haha so the plan is to get her running then deal with the bodywork tank is solid one of the side panels is a right mess originally she was mars bars like the other one but undecided between mars bars or the rz black and gold colour? What do we all reckon
How she was when I got her 12 years ago with a engine on the point of nipping up.
An everything was pretty much a mess on it.
Cant complain though uk bike matching numbers an no crank case damage.
Today's progress rebuilt the forks did the swing arm bushes an got all the chassis together.
