I was able to get the motor in the frame last night with the help of a friend But that's about all I've had time to do I think it's starting to look a lot like a cool Bike and I'm starting to get excited about it again !!!

LOL Maxpete I always joke and say it looks like Fred Sanford lives here.HAHA OH and if you or If anyone is wondering why or even noticed the U-bolts on the gooseneck? I have a perfectly good explanation. If you'll remember the Dunstbin style Fairing I purchased back when, Well that will be used...

Sorry my lil 1 car garage is a mess lol

Oh got the main frame painted. I wanted something a lil different than everyone ells as it's normally gloss black or the same color as the tins, So I shot some candy silver base coat on and then shot translucent anodized black over it to get this smoked effect. I guess I didn't prep the backbone...

Update I have gotten a little farther along on the Road Racer project. Not very far as work and life get in the way but I did finish top end rebuild and have the motor almost completely back together. The block, jugs, and heads are painted with 1,500 degree gloss black engine enamel, case covers...

I know this is jumping the gun a bit but I had the extra cash on hand and they were at a good price so I went ahead and got me the rear sets from Old School Speed. all billet aluminum I will most likely buy some other linkage rods or at least come up with something to cover the ugly threaded rods

I feel really stupid LOL Well after about an hour trying to use about 9 zip tie's and a gazillion F-words that didn't include Friday I got smart and checked out youtube and then went to home depot & bought some plastic A/C duck hanger strip and two 4.5" plumbers screw band clamps Cost about $6...

I would think they at least take credit cards JimD54 I mean there a pretty big outfit and even have online ordering as well as local stores everywhere

Hi there Sir. I really had no plans to race the bike as it will be street legal in every way but will resemble something we only remember seeing back when we were still teens or saw at a museum. Just something to enjoy

Yeah I spoke with the UPS guy who delivers both to my job and to my home and he said it is a cheaper way for the seller to send packages And well I guess that makes sense because the parts are new Yamaha manufactured but there sold at below what other retailers are selling them for
