I like.

Much better than the LC/RGV crossbreeds that look terrible!

What swingarm is it? Off another bike or a braced 'arm specificly for a LC?

Beautiful.
I cant stand it when people mess about with LC's and ruin them.
That looks spot on .

It's different, yet very well put together. Never seen a TZR lump in an LC frame before. At a glance it could be a stock LC (paintjob, lights, clocks), which isn't a bad thing. You sir, are a genius.

Nicely done, some nice mods whilst keeping the essence of the LC. Particularly prefer those wheels over the original, too.

Also the RGV front and rear end doesn't produce as great a bike as some would have you believe. LC frames are simply not stiff enough to take advantage of ridgid forks and swinging arm coupled with massive radial tyres.

Firstly thats a really lovely LC resto with a twist. I love the way you have tried to keep it looking as original as possible, i didn't even spot the TZR motor straightaway it's that subtle! Well done, be very proud!

Secondly it's not just LC's that are commonally built into specials with bits of more modern sportsbikes grafted on. There are alot of 70's and 80's bikes with fairly flexy less than rigid frames by modern standards, and grafting big stronge USD front ends and monoshocked rear's with huge braced swinging arms is popular on lots of old muscle bikes and always will be, even if it doesn't result in the best possible handling or has a chassis that can't exploit the upgraded suspension, brakes and extra ground clearance on offer.

I do like the Suzuki GT750/GSXR1000 specials alot, but i know full well that building one does not neccassarily make for a better looking or better handling bike overall. It's just nice to see people take on the engineering challenge of making something new and something old fit together and work. I don't think people neccassarily build bikes like LC/RGV hybrids to get a really sweet handling sharp steering weapon of a bike, it's more for the challenge and to stand out with something a bit different from all the OEM resto jobs that often can get way out of hand when it comes to trying to re-create originality at all costs.
