nikodaio Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Can anyone can answer my questions about what is authentic (and not) from my Youtube vid. Thanks Nick. NT's first vlog: https://youtu.be/lK-9musxyB0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YPVS TONE Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Hi Nick Looking at your video it looks like it is pretty much original apart from the pipes. The original pipes were all black "Cigar shaped" The indicators look original for the 1985 F1 and the mirrors look right although the original ones may have stuck out further. If you have a look at this link it shows the F1 on a brochure and the whole site has lots of info you may find helpful. http://www.rd350lc.net/page57V85.htm Hope you enjoy it. I have a 1983 RD350LC2 the first of the powervalves which is still fun to ride. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted March 29, 2014 Moderator Share Posted March 29, 2014 An 83ypvs, I had one of those. Whoowie was I glad when it got nicked. Money pit of the highest order. If I knew then what I know now........... Ace when it worked...... All I will say is the sump plug had a little hole drilled in it, mint bodywork though......

nikodaio Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Hi YPVS TONE, thanks for the info and the link - very useful. It is great fun to ride as it's so quick. I just leave everything for dead :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikodaio Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Really Cynic ?. My elsie seens quite reliable so far. I don't understand why your sump plug would have hole in it - care to elucidate ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted March 29, 2014 Moderator Share Posted March 29, 2014 Ex proddie race bike, they keep the bodywork safe, use some lightweight race stuff then when the bike is all wore out they put the original bodywork back. Bit of spit and polish and sell their 'low mileage minter' to some poor sap, in this case me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikodaio Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Cynic oh right I see. So it was a bit of a knacker then?. I love my elsie, no probs yet (fingers crossed) :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
