rod monteiro the dj right?

mine is a little pet. she doesnt have any real purpose except for being a spare bike.

i have a little scrambler as my daily transport, lighter and more convenient for daily use

[Rzboy]

wat scrambler u riding bro? still using yr 350? damn ! miss riding my 4u0. the raw and aggressive power really blows yr mind, pity the the F.C though! maybe we should meet up for coffee n talk all things 350. invitation extended to all riding 350. it's been a long time i've met any one of them. when u r married everything changes. if u know what i mean ! LOL:)

Wow...our DJ Rod Monteiro as a Tongster?! Another celebrity on the Tong is the local Malay actor who went across the Causeway. That's Adiputra, Singaporean actor in Suria who went across the Causeway. Second from left. Good looking dude. He had his ride restored across the Causeway too!

Anyway of meeting up with the buyer? I can counter-propose the offer.

[dnalz]

i dun think its a matter of money to him, he is as enthusiastic about this bike as you do. so sorry about the whole thing, i will help you find another set from my frd who sold it to me last time.

Its an original Yamaha luggage rack for the RDs. Pretty rare nowadays.

[dnalz]

If there is anyone here interested in restoring a 1984 RD250LC YPVS please contact me at 90212998 to discuss. I would like to trade for a 4LO or 4UO in any condition.

 

FYI my 38K is also in a state where time and efforts need to be spent on restoring it.

I have been told that many of the used parts have already found their way up north some time ago. I too have been looking for a project tong but nothing came my way as yet. I have been looking into the parts in the mean time and have found that many parts no longer produced in Japan.

 

If you can't find old parts, I know you can but the headlight new in the Yamaha parts shop here and the tail set is also in stock. The tail lamp cover I also have seen so no problem with that but no seat and side cover available new now.

 

You are lucky as there is a used meter set available in this thread, very hard to find now in working order. I can't afford it sadly. I think this same seller has access to tong spares as he has friends with parts for sale. Can give him a try too....

 

I will aslo keep my eyes out and let you know if I see anything from your list in the bike shops that I visit

[Rzboy]

bro ramos, as 4 2nd parts that u asked it's like striking toto big time. sorry to say, but most of it has been bought over by our northern counterparts. 350s r a big thing over there. word of advice if u r gonna keep the bike 4 long time to come, better start stocking up now.(comes handy 4 future repairs) u can try xjr400 headlight(no pilot light) n tw200 taillight. they r exactly the same as lc 350. good luck.

Hi bro, how r u? Wat u doing in Jakarta? Im in d process of doing up my bike also.

[ramos]

thks bros...for all inputs.

i know dis gonna be a 'long and tedious' journey.

i still have 2yrs+/- to go...coe ends 2012.

anyway, already contacted my counterparts across border for leads for parts.

even when i did my enquiries at Auto Machinery,

they told me to buy watever available parts ASAP...

no more guarantee they will stock up again...

[ramos]

btw, any wshop (specialists... ) here to recom on 350LC general repair works?

does urs need to be completely original or just rideable condition?

stock seat - can try reupholstering ur seat

side covers - no more new one, some remanufactured ones are available on internet (fiberglass, look quite good)... if urs is not seriously damaged u can try repairing it

tail set - not sure about this

lamp assembly - r u referring to rear light or headlight?

 

meter must buy 2nd hand

mainstand i think dont have, must also buy 2nd hand

mine is in a sorry state at the moment.

previous owner mod up a S4 seat n tail to the poor 350LC.

headlamp also not stock...some crap twin headlamps.

doesnt look good to me...i prefer the original look.

so i'm looking for the rear tail & rear tail lamp assembly.

headlamp i'm thinking of salvaging from other single round headlamp bikes.

yup, i'm actually looking for used parts if possible..

btw, share ur 350LC pic for me to drool on...

[Rzboy]

san853, when u coming back bro? heard replica spray paint doing a good job. doin mine one at a time. collect the parts first b4 they run out of stock. i'm not playing stock any more. going 4 lighter, faster project. will keep u updated.

[Rzboy]

ramos, u can try ah kok at kranji loop. been doing up 350s 4 ages. good at doing pipes too. but be prepared to face a grumpy old man. n the occasional expletives he spews at customers who r impatient. good luck.
