    Phoned up about my wheels, due ready today, delay as front spokes wrong when delivered, bummer! Could be ready later this week if I am lucky. Have ordered some tkc80 tyres from Pneus (auto spell changed that to p*nis!) online that came in at £90, inner tubes on way, just need rim tape and my mate to get back from holiday to fit the tyres. Had a slight weep on expansion tank connection behind side panel, surprised as new hoses, remade and that seems cured. Ordered some 88 graphics as well, have to hide the bank statement when it comes🙄

          No word on the wheels yet, still kicking my heels waiting. Tyres,tubes and rim tape arrived and all ready for fitting, new bearings waiting, destickered bike ready for new decals when they come. Frustrating waiting tbh not the most patient, but at least the weather has been poor so not missing out on too much0_1502050545771_20170806_211006.jpg 0_1502050566720_20170806_210901.jpg
          Made a new spout for exhaust, try and get that welded this week0_1502050720734_15020506714941306503137.jpg

                @oldman Yes mate!

                Nice one for repairing the old Exhaust!

                I reckon most stock end cans must be in the bin.

                          If it was a 1990 model yes, but it's an 88 that seems to have had a bodywork transplant in the early years of its life, by1994 anyway as thats how it was when the owners I got it from bought it. Will be white or blue, sent a query to Yamaha and no response to date and also sent off to DVLA for history and hoping that will reveal original colour

                                Finally had a reply from Yamaha and my bike was white from first registration, dvla history should tell me when colour was changed when that arrives. Phoned wheel builder yesterday am and he said just doing wheels now, great, should have them back today! Oh no!, phone call in the afternoon wrong spokes again apparently, he said he was ordering from Yamaha next. Trouble is I wanted stainless, could not discuss with him at the time as on mini train at the zoo with grandson, ringing him shortly to sort out but seems another week without wheels, bummer!!

                                  Yamaha have no stock, delay in getting spokes, be lucky if I have wheels back in 2 weeks

                                    It's worth waiting to get what you want at the end of the day.

                                    Can someone here help and locate the correct spokes in SS?

                                      Doubt Yamaha will have stainless steel spokes so you will probably get the original zinc plated ones again.

                                      Have you thought about Central Wheel Components for your wheel build? Would be expensive but you'd get stainless if you wanted it

                                        Central wheels are the ones that have sent 2 incorrect spoke sets, if it comes to nothing with the guy doing it will send to central to do, want to give the current builder a chance to sort, seems a decent enough bloke stuck in the middle, REALLY frustrating though. Summer will be gone before I have had a chance for a play. Rear wheel spokes sent were 3.5mm, somewhat oversized.

                                          Exhaust off being welded though, so not all bad news
