Looks pretty light
Thats the same as the ones I used on my Red and Purple ones. They are OK but the writing is Black on a Purple one.

Seat cover ordered, at a loose end waiting(still) for my wheels, thought I would start on the white 89. Sidestand bent so thought I would whip that off to straighten out. Bolt loose (I thought) and removed sidestand, after straightening went to refit and thread shot in sidestand, hence the loose bolt. Wonder what else I will find?

Did you get any joy with the Red panel in Switzerland ?
You have a White 89

Going to try again next week with an interpreter! German speaking friend of a friend. Have also found panels elsewhere listed 2 x scoops and mudguard, ordered and hoping they are correct (stock nos match) received the 1990 decals and grey seat cover and picked up my wheels today YAAAAAAY, if my friend back from holiday hope to have tyres fitted this weekend. Also received vehicle history from DVLA, sold in London first, went to Dunstable, back to London, then surrey, back to london, and then to me. Colour change registered 26.05.91 and new engine 06.09.91, never paid much attention as frame ends in 01459 and engine 00540, so somewhere there is an engine that matches my frame no. Is the engine no early production? Not sure how the vin nos work. Busy weekend fitting seat cover, red fork guards and getting tyres done hopefully

@calum No unfortunately, genuine yamaha, will have to be scrupulous keeping them clean and dry!

Hello, it's as close as can be, not genuine but compares to original, had a problem starting surprisingly, ran perfectly when I remitted to frame, could hear air being drawn in,. Would run with choke but stall as soon as turned off. Somehow I must have dislodged carb from rubber boot of reed inlet between then and now, not a lot but enough for a small air leak on the inlet side. Remade and idling fine with good pickup on the throttle. Keen to try on the road as soon as I can arrange and find time for mot. Repainted exhaust stinks as well!

Looks like it's just left the showroom bud

Have ordered the bar ends, spare time today so thought I would check and take for mot, difficult to start again! Checked all usual suspects and thought fuel starvation to blame, could get to start on choke but running off choke poor, decided to take carb out and found inlet rubber split below jubilee clip! Ordered from cmsl as fowlers had no stock,none on eBay either! 60 odd euros including postage, not pleased. To be expected for 29 yr old rubber parts I suppose, assume it split after initial reassembly as started and ran perfectly when first reassembled. At least I found the problem, just have to wait a week or so for delivery now
