January 27, 201312 yr Moderator Ah" if you get it done by Chrome Restorers , not just a re-chrome, they will fill dents with tinning process , , and will be top class job, costs double that of a re-chrome, I'm not sure they chrome in Norway, I seem to remember a poster had to send to Holland for theirs to be done. correct me if I'm wrong LS2. Pretty bike BTW
January 27, 201312 yr Author Thank you people. And thank you for caring. Well, I think it might be a problem to find a Chrome Restorer that can do the Tinning process, but there are several companies doing Chroming. I am normally driving my HD Heritage Classic (very bling-bling) and have had to Chrome parts several times. I have come across fenders for her, but they are expencive and the sellers are in Japan or other eastern countrys. They tend not to answer when you try to ask a question. For example this one: http://handmadethaicountry.ecrater.com/p/11140018/yamaha-ls2-ls3-rs100-front How can I be sure this will fit my bike? Are all fenders for all the LS2s the same? I know there where done some small changes to e.g. the tail light. After 1973 ore something the tail light went back from a square shape to a round shape and so on. So I know my bike most likely is a 1974 model because it is registered first time in 1975. I think it is a big risk to spend this amount of money on a part I do not know will fit. Therefore I try to ask them to take 2-3 measurements, but no aswer yet. Ill just keep hammering I thing, and slowly I will get there. I guess this is what is called restoring...
April 3, 201311 yr Hi I've got the USA version of the LS2 which differs slightly from the Europa version mainly cosmetics as its got open springs on the rear shocks, sealed beam headlamp with a narrow rim and of course its Blue Regretted selling it the moment I agreed to sooo...... This is one that I've recently imported via Canada Got the restoration underway at the moment, you can link to the restoration diary via the Aircooled RD Forum http://www.aircooledrdclub.com/smf/index.php?topic=37528.0 So if you need any information let me know i've got parts lists and workshop manuals, a lot of parts are similar to the AS3 as well

September 21, 20159 yr Hi all, I just picked up this 1972 LS2 for free from a friend in return for helping clean his barn. Hadn't been registered since 1975. It's not perfect by a long ways but it cleaned up pretty nice. I rebuild the carbs, new plugs etc and it is actually running pretty well. I don't really know what to expect. I do notice that the right side runs considerably stronger than the left. When I make mix or idle adjustments to that side they are immediately apparent. The left seems quite a bit weaker and those same adjustments don't really seem to have any effect. The manual is a little sparse on recommendation. I'd be open to anyone's ideas. Thanks in advance!
