Well the bike is pretty much done now. I did a post before of how shyte looking it was.
£700 later (paint job) £400 later - bits for it - its pretty much done.
I still need to buy wavey disks,Grip, Exhaust is being shortened tomorrow (If I dont like I will buy a MotoGP pipe like I had on the B1H)
Rear still needs to be raised - slight issue with the sprayer who now has another job so couldnt complete it. I am thinking of just getting the sub re-welded.
anyhow here are some shots - Im happy so far.
Undertray needs more spraying due to the paint reacting to something, but its right underneath - Unsure when that will be done Rolling Eyes

Huge lesson learnt with buying a 2nd hand bike without looking into it - But the bikes been done to my liking - so its mine Smile

Before & After Smile

Once you paint your top yoke and work on those chicken strips a little it'll be a cracking bike. Did you sort the rear subframe in the end?

Good enough to see behind... I was thinking of going smaller Embarassed

Subframe still not sorted, Not a real issue but would complete the bike to be honest. Im getting there Thumbs Up

£700 to have a bike painted white or black is ridiculous. Glad you like it.

The only spoiler to that bike is that bulbous front flushmount! I've always hated those budget bike-it/motrax "flushmount". It spoils any bike because it looks cheap. Prefer LED flusmounts OR original stalks as opposed to those flush mounts. Unfortunately, chances are you would have needed to drill through the fairings in order to mount those and that they were originally there in the first place?

you need to get the fork legs anodized black and the spots in the callipers anodized white (well.. silver, cos you can't anodize white)

Looks good Louise. I Think white or blue wheels would set it off perfectly.

Rowey · World Chat Champion Joined: 07 Oct 2007 Karma :

Can you get infill panels for the subframe mounts?

Also the wheels seem a little plain. If you don't want to powder coat them, what about some white or blue rim tape?

The wheels are hard to show on the photo, but in sunlight they look nice.
They are a little plain and did wonder about tape,
I wouldnt go white - Im having the wipe the tank/nose cone of bugs everyday Laughing

I think it's just to break up the black under tray, looks a bit plain. Even a white Yamaha decal like on the factory paint would work.

Louise · World Chat Champion Joined: 22 May 2006 Karma :

I have two white Yamaha decals for the belly pan to go on, just not got around to it. I would like more on the bottom. It was a last minute desicion to leave them off. Its just getting the right kind so it looks nice Thumbs Up
