    (xjr400) Yeah i recon a SP front panel will make it look smart i was going to buy one but didn't have the money to spend on one. And that was my first plan when i did my light conversion but found the way i did it made it a hell of a lot easier.

    (ajhouse) Thanks m8. and mine is air cooled. you could alternatively just drill holes in the front panel in the position of the radiator rather than buy a sp front panel or make a pattern and put mesh on it if your looking for a different look like i've done with the panel under my seat, and the radiator should bolt straight on as LC and AC zip frames are the same. My front forks are NRG MC3 ones (modified to fit).

    (northrider) If you were on about no power gain from having a LC engine in the zip then sorry you wrong as LC peds have usually around 1hp more than AC peds because they don't have a huge fan causing huge drag lol.

    Also to add to that last bit, a Lc engine is faster because the lc stator/cdi is able to rev higher because the bike stays cooler :)

    There was a page on here somewhere, Lc stators rev higher than the Ac one, that's why people put lc stators on ac engines as it makes more power some how ? lol.
