Re: vintage gp cafe

Thanks all. I built it for myself, but my guess is it will end up like my fzr 400, I finish and say I will never sell it then I get something else going and sell one to fund the other, plus if I was doing it to sell I wouldn't have rattle canned her! But in all I think it came out pretty sweet, I do...

Re: new project

thanks, these older yamahas are cool, if you compare the chassis (minus front end ) they are closer to a true sport bike than anything being made for the street back in 1981, look at pics of a 1981 tz 250. I hope it will be a blast to ride, it cant weigh more than 180 lbs, I can very easily pick the...

Re: new project
