CHASSIS
- 100-90×10 rear wheel
- Zip front wheel and fork
- PLC crash bungs for forks

- Steel original legshield with welded tube edging to reinforce. PLC now produces fibreglass legshields too.
- Holes drilled in legshield to prevent aerodynamic instability at speeds over 130km/h.
- PLC belly pan scoop which also improves high speed stability.
- PLC handlebar tube conversion (T5 headset base) with greasing points.
- PLC handlebar end weights.
- Beringer front brake master cylinder, longer lever for better feel.
- Handlebar height can be adjusted.
- WP Steering damper conversion.

Great Feature on the PLC smallframe as I’m just building one based on a PK for the Scooters on the mount event next month
Fancy doing us a build log?
It’ll all be a bit last minute with two LCGB runs between now and the event and it’s still in bits on the floor but yes I’ll give it a go as long as you tell me how you want it, format etc..? It’s using the same motor I did the Dirtquake Event on a few years ago ( you we’re there, we spoke, you took pics) but in a different frame.
