managed to do a bit more, nearly dropped a clanger though as I nearly fitted thw wrong rev counter clock, so got the proper one sorted, here is the correct clock..... and the clocks assembled and ready to go on the bike and I even managed to get my barrels and heads blasted and painted ready for fitting...... so hopefully when I get a quiet hour or two I'll have chance to fit them

may be for sale when finished I might be raffling it off for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, I haven't decided yet as its costs me an absolute fortune so far, from buying the bike 2+yrs ago to collecting all of the right parts and buying loads and loads of new parts, plus the brand new paint job etc, the build will be in excess of £5k !

well its been a while since I've had chance to work on the bike, but at the weekend I made a concerted effort and managed to make some progress, so its coming along, still lots to do, but its beginning to take shape, the photo's aren't in any particular order, but you can see what I've been working on, namely, brake calipers, rear indicators, some wiring, kick starter etc, etc

Hi Dave, your doin superb job there!! What's the secret to spraying up the Wheels then?? Did you spray them Red then rub the rims down again?? How many of Yamaha's Finest have got there seems like a Great Collection?? Great Job Mate! Sean G

Hi Seang, actually the wheels aren't painted this time, I tried a new approach which I am very pleased with the way they have come out, its a little bit more work, but the finish is harder wearing, they are actually powder coated and the rims are polished, now I'll wait for the questions on how on earth I managed to do that as powder coating is a right "bar-steward" to get off, let alone polish the rims !

Front tyre on the wrong way round in the post before. And a very big lathe to get the powder coat off?

no, both wrong, its very subtle, one of the front indicators is a rear one, only noticed it the other day and I've had the set for bloody years and never thought to check !
