Hello!
Oh cool yeah looks like she needs a bit of restoration work.
You should be able to get the full plastics for your Yamaha. I know I was able to get mine no problems.
What are your plans going forward? Now you've done your license, looking to get a bigger bike?

@Calum I've not done my bike test yet, i was planning to do it this month but it's all went tits up with the country being in lockdown so I'll be sticking to the 125 until next year now.
Just starting to prime the parts now, etch prime, rub back down then satin black

@Calum when I try to upload the original picture it's too large a file so I screenshot them to resize it, probably a better way of doing it
-
Nice, you make quick work of that bike!
Looks good!Are you getting rid of the wheels?
I'm looking for some
@Jbplap I needed them to keep the WR rolling sorry.
Haven't had a lot of time but got some of it back together, hopefully finish tomorrow if the parts I'm waiting on arrive in the post
-
@rk101 yes don't upload to this site! I don't have image hosting capability. I was in the admin panel scratching my head as to how you were doing this.
Use something like imgur or Google to host your photos and link them in here
-
@Calum still don't know how to upload photos
uploaded to imgur then copied the url and doesn't show up -
Pretty much finished for now few little jobs left and waiting on the chain and few other parts to arrive in the post. Went all Rolf Harris with the side plastics and splashed some paint on them so it wasn't just all plain black, not too keen on it so will probably buy some graphics for it. Also need to buy a new seat cover to get rid of the blue
Counted around 32 hours to strip and rebuild, didn't spend any time on the engine as it will need to come out again for a rebuild after summer, showing 105ish psi on a compression check still starts with no issues and runs good but read 120+ is healthy so a top end refresh is on the to do list

@rk101 Only half of you pics are showing, are you waiting till the upload has hit 100%, before you click enter and start the next upload???
@NINJA I've tried using imgur for the pictures and gave up. I've copied the url for the image, then the "bb code" that they say is for forums, tried on the app and the desktop version for my phone and neither work. I used imgur about 6 months ago on a nissan forum and didn't have any issues now I just cant use it
