This
1989 350 F2 was built and is owned by Kevin cullerne. He was a big lc
nut in the mid eighties and owned various models during those years. He then
had a few years of madness swoping to a big fat hairy arsed deasels before a
mortgage, bills and being under the thumb ofcourse pissed on his two wheeled
blaze around the roads , ( Responsabilitey's a killer an't it.)

Kev decided first to upgrade the front and Got hold of a KR1S front end
which was surprisingly easy fit. It runs the compleat KR1S Front Wheel, Forks,
Brakes disks, Yokes and mudguard.
And
so it begins. The pit started to open and the money trikeled in or should be
flowed in.
The
engine is pretty much standard other than a fresh re-bore and foam filters.
Kev Hopes if funds allow to get some work done on the engine to pep it up not
that it realy needs it but you allwayt more dont you . The frame is standard
with only a few mods to acomadate the seat unit.
In 1999 He got Himself a YZF 750 but fortunatley this did not last long and
with theropy his thourghts returned to blue smoke and powerbands. He heard about
a bloke at his work selling a tatty 350 f2 to make way for a new bike"a
deasal no doubt". It was a good runner, straight and road legal and he
only wanted 200 quid for it a real bargen so Kev gave him £175 the cheekey
bugger. Old Kev decided he was going to do something special with this one as
soon as he got it home, so he sold the 750 to pay for the project. (like that
was going to be enough!)
Front
end:
Over the next few years every thing had been re-built, powder coated, replaced
or polished at one hell of a cost . It took four years to get it finished mainly
because Kev kept running out of funds to get it how he wanted it, but now its
there and he's really pleased with a job well done, "and so he bloody well
should be" Not bad for for a first attempt at a special is it .
The
back side:
Kev found an NC30 Rear end compleat, Wheel,disk caliper swinger and Suspension,
Not as easy as the front end to fit but the NC30 single-sided swing arm did
eventually fit in with a little help from a big hammer "who'ed have thourght".The
tail unit is a one off tailpiece to Kevs own design.
He had a set of one off Swarbrick Expansion Chambers made for that trick GP
look. "I like them gives it a more modern look and i bet it sounds the
dogs to."
The
seat unit is a one off made to kevs own design, and he still hold the mold for
it .
