1930 Model LB

Post by **tom.craig** » Wed Feb 12, 2014 5:56 pm

Hello All

I'm new to this forum but was wondering if there was anybody who had experience of the 1930 LB 250? I have one which I'm restoring. It's complete but posing lots of questions.

Be very interested to hear from anyone.

Tom

Hi I don't have an LB but not for the want of trying I nearly bought one a couple of weeks ago but in the end was too slow, and was offered one from Holland but it was too expensive.
Anyway I have been doing as much research as I can so now now a bit about them, as far as I can see yours looks very nice and correct the only thing is and I may be wrong but I think it should have a center stand not a rear stand?

Sorry I was Wrong it's 1929 model that has the center stand.

I would do nothing cosmetically to that bike, it is in no need of restoration.

Yes I am with you on that, I'm not restoring the bike but of course I want it roadworthy and that needs some light upgrading. Things like the saddle has lost all its springs but it has the leather in really good original state. I would love to see a good roadworthy LB to compare but I'm having a great deal of difficulty finding any reference. I have the sales brochure from that year with the bike which gives the timing side view but little real detail.

Thanks for comments.

Hi Tom. The AOMCC repository has a catalogue, spares book, owners manual and press article.

Saddle springs can be found on truck covers.

The bungy strapping can be bought at any chandlers/boat shop. I had to renew mine and it lasts well and you can specify the size/strength.
