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
She's alive!!!! After a couple months, and crazy parts rangleing the old IT is up and running. For the most part everything is together as far as the engine and chassis are concerned, need to bleed front brake and install chain.
