@Louis-James Good ole Ali express to the rescue!!! :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:

@Louis-James they look crap on the photo but in real life on your pic they look beautiful lol Ali confuses me too much to order anything

So , the silver parts were ready and the exhaust expansion was blasted..
I may upgrade to a FMF system or dep. And sell this exhaust.

Started prepping bits for assembly. Tapping holes etc.

[Louis-DT-WR]

As suspected not all wires on the new clocks were correct.

New clocks had a blank where the oil light is and a completely fake temperature light..

So I transfer all original loom onto the new clocks and drilled a hole for the temp light and put a long bulb holder in to hold the bulb close to the "red" window

New temp light

Brand new fully functional clocks at a fraction of YAMAHA cost:

@Louis-James All nice and shiny, which finish is it on those silver parts???

[Louis-DT-WR]

@NINJA I'm not sure , I just asked for a semi gloss silver powdercoat

[Calum]

Looking pucker mate.

Definitely making me itch for another project! Although no way I can afford to do this at the pace you're doing it at!

What ya do, rob a bank?

[Louis-DT-WR]

@Calum cheers Val. And tbh parts I have spent less than £200, powdercoating Inc sandblasting and special paint colour £180

OK Cool I wasn't sure if it was powdercoat or anodising???

[Louis-DT-WR]

@NINJA oh it's all powder

[Louis-DT-WR]

Now the rebuild begins.

New chain guard courtesy of AliExpress£11 not bad

Looks so much nicer in person... Really has that 90s yz feel

Contrast

Whacky colour mix

As she sits now... Going to take my time and enjoy it

[Calum]

@Louis-James Oh wow, that colour.

I'm going to have to share this!

[Louis-DT-WR]

@Calum probably like Marmite some for people, but I'm daring, it will all make sense when finished.

Thanks, where to? Be good to pull in some newbies

[Minia]

Looking good

[Louis-DT-WR]

@Minia thanks

[Calum]

@Louis-James I just forwarded the images to a friend of mine. He'll appreciate it.

That colour is fantastic

[NINJA]

@Louis-James Interesting and unusual colour choice, looks cool and no doubt when completed all the colours will tie together. Is this going to be a show bike or an occasional rider???
