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.

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:

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 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

on sunny days will get a nice ride
Problems with a 25year old bike is not all parts are available anymore,
Thinking of getting an enduro / laner that can be plastered on mud and dropped and banged hha -

You are right get a second bike to be used and abused and leave the restored classics as eye candy!!! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :winking_face: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
