Gotta keep it camp.

Very nice, saw that myself when I picked up the Turbo Lite.

You'll need to change the seat clamp and pedals as well.

I see your point on the seat clamp but what up with the pedals?

Pedals on a Gen 1 Leary were Chrome cage, Black insert SR MP-134

One's in the picture are DB MKS, as found on Silver Streak (aka MX pedals)

Look fella,

Your comments were neither required or constructive and typical of the minority, directing them at me in the way you did only provoked a response.

I was already having a PM conversation with Munner prior to your reply.

Instead of telling it how you see it, not how it is, try not treating the thread as a way to have a go at someone and back off.

snav69 · « **Reply #20 on:** January 09, 2008, 08:41 PM »

Is the seat clamp the same as this one $:-\$ I was told by db-oldskool that these were also fitted to the Leary Turbo

It was chrome but it was shot at and easy to pick off , so i did , and polished it

BTW - Very nice motor is that

MartyC · « **Reply #21 on:** January 09, 2008, 08:41 PM »

The levers only need putting in the right position, further down the bars so that the lever itself is horizontal with the grip other than that it looks great to me

.

sparky · « **Reply #22 on:** January 09, 2008, 08:48 PM »

Snav,

To be totally honest fella, I've only ever gone by spec sheets and from what I understand the clamp you show was an aftermarket product.

All the Leary's I've seen in official brochures show the SR clamp.
