Yamaha Fun

Got some more parts made and mounted.

Some point to mount the rear master cylinder, changing from drum to disc just requires some small tubes welded to the frame, using original style MC.

Brake light switch.



Electric dash is mounted.


The beginnings of a battery box, wanted to keep it very clean under the seat, needs some trimming.



Battery in the box, dry cell type so it will work anyway except upside down, just need to fit a fuse box, starter relay, flasher unit etc in there with it. Not many little parts to go now before pull it apart to get painted, powder coated and plated. Also had to take some time out to put some paint on the better half's project (which I seem to do most the work on), it is a esky (to an aussie), chilly bin (to a kiwi) or cooler (to an American). It started life as a round top fridge.



Still needs some more detail put on it. Can you guess what it is meant to be
yet?
Really miss machining something, I bring it on myself.
Thanks for looking in

Slowly plodding away

Key mounted

Rear brake reservoir

Found some of these grommets in a junk box so mounted 1 each side

Fuse box, start relay and indicator relay in front of battery box, not much room left in it.

Welded in some nuts to hold box and battery strap


Finished in the battery box for now.

Thanks for looking in.

Been in two minds regarding foot pegs but ended up going originalish

Made some sleeves

They go over the original stubs


Need this to end up here

This side had lots fo bits to go around and fit in with so done it first.

Late model pegs which fold back if they hit the ground during exuberant riding. Going to mount the seat unit and build a new inner rear guard over the next few days.
Thanks for looking in.

Hi Brock, the Yamaha is looking good, I'll be watching the rest of the build. I just finished taking mine for it's first shake down ride, still have a few things to get done, the seat for instance, so far have done all myself so I might as well try doing some upholstry, if anyone has any tips please post them!

Is this on the wrong website?

Not at all, it's in the "Break room" where members can discuss anything they like.

Bike looks great John, I am sure it goes as well as it looks. Did you do much to the engine?

I am looking forward to getting back to model engines and heave a plan formulating. 2 stroke and re engineering.

Thanks Brock, it runs well enough. I didn't do anything to the engine except clean and paint, it is not the original engine and showed signs of a complete tear down, timing chain, valves were all adjusted to specs. Thanks for looking

Had no time lately due to the acquisition of a new large project which needed some room but finally got some time on the bike.

Some side plates for tail unit mount beginning


Knock out punch, radio punch, darn handy things



Nice and solid

Regulator and some relays also got mounted under seat unit

Tail light got a mount

Beginning of an inner guard

Wheel some shape into it

Rear guard is the last thing to complete before tear down for beautification and engine build.

Thanks for looking in .

Not exactly my cup-of-tea, But I have to admire the metalwork - I've learned a lot here..

Built a awful looking rear guard to meet licensing requirements. It will be replace with a fender eliminator later.



All fab work is done on the frame so it will be off for powder coating after removing some unwanted brackets.
