    Fitted the exhaust, and the bodywork first fit. Ordered missing original bolts, should be my last order hopefully. All panels new but r/h panel over exhaust a bit scratched. Need to try and polish out. Stickers next!20191005_183420-1024x576.jpg 20191005_183506-1024x576.jpg

        Problems with the stickers means that's delayed. DT on scoops wrong colour, should be white on black (have yellow on black), mid section decals all wrong, have nos one for r/h scoop and ordered l/h scoop one this eve. Will get them reproduced when it arrives so colour matches rear panel decals, pocs to follow.

            Yeah, looking fabulous. Adore the contrast in colours. Really love how you've done a true to the original job. Literally the replacement for @scrimsmustang 😛

              Nah, there's only one scrim. Last time I spoke to him some scrote has nicked his red side panels parked up at a bike night. Cant even leave your bikes parked now. He did a blue one a while back but think he sold it on.

                        Thanks for that but still not as original fitment, closer than I have now though. When the left hand graphic (genuine Yamaha) gets delivered I'll get both left and right copied along with correct white on black DT graphics. A bit OCD maybe?

                                  Have my wheels back at last, powdercoaters took ages and missed inner hub areas. Misunderstood my instructions to not coat bearing surfaces for disc and sprocket, rather than wait another 5 weeks took them and sprayed with black enamel paint. Local bike mechanic rebuilt wheels including new rims £150 cheaper than Central Wheels without new rims. Really pleased with the result, hopefully fit this weekend. Waiting for decals back from reproduction then it's the end???20191125_162456-1024x576.jpg

                                      Not far away now, waiting for rear disc to arrive. Have to decide what I am doing to do with it then. I'll pop some pics up when its complete (sort of) . Considering putting it up for display somewhere if its wanted. Meanwhile picked up a pw80 for grandson as he has outgrown the pw50, so that's to be gone through when I get it out of the van. Selling the 50 should pay for the new one hopefully.

                                          Mostly finished now, brakes to bleed and actually put fuel in it. That can wait until the spring. Better pictures if the sun comes out and I am home
