The difference is yours doesnt have the ghey 46 stickers 
How did the rear wheel end up like that? The rest of the bike doesn't look overly crash damaged.

Spent some more time on it today changing the plugs and flushing out the carbs. The brown coloured gloop that came out of each float bowl doesn't fill with me hope when it comes to starting it. I will give the carbs a proper clean and overhaul as soon as I can get the thing on 2 wheels. Also cleaned the shock mounts and the rear of the bike. It's gleaming now! Thank god for Lidl engine cleaner.
As you can see the spark plugs hadn't be changed in a while...

Does anyone know where to get thrust washers for the swingarm? Yamaha Europe are closed until the new year and I want to get the bike put together. Once I can get a pair of the washers (cup type things that sit over the swingarm bearings) i'll be much closer to winning!
Saying that, I'm still waiting for the new rear shock to arrive along with the new rear spindle. I got another set of chain adjusters from a FZR 3HE, They are identicle apart from the spindle hole being too small. A 20mm drill bit for the press will sort that out no problem.
Cost so far:
£60 van rent plus fuel to pick the van up
£101 bearings, service kit (plugs, oil, spindles etc)
£30 brake/clutch levers (shortys) Cancelled order as they have no stock.
£15 chain adjusters
£15 second set chain adjusters
£8 20mm drill bit
£35 adjustable shock
Thanks all,
Damon
EDIT:
Managed to track the shock to my local post office. Will pick it up tomorrow.
Also bought some Thrust washers off a RD350. Apparently they are the same so we will see... At £7 for a pair its worth a gamble to get the build moving |

I have a set of front calipers that will fit this. Rebuilt by me and working fine with newish pads in.
Fire us a pm if the ones on it are too far gone
(I did also have the shock aswell, but nevermind )

So off I pop to the other post office to be told once again I was in the wrong place. 
The shock feels nice and plush too. It's been a long time since I've had a bike where the seat hasn't been a piece of back protector foam or a thin motox unit.
