Still waiting for the wheels as you can see, exhaust almost finished, but did fit some graphics, comments welcome

Get a yz frame

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!

There you go

Pictures in the sun in all its shiny glory, and a picture of the twins together

Engine completed and awaiting return of frame from powder coaters then down to serious work. Have most of parts now bar one panel, c&s, brake lines/pads, master cylinder/calipers rebuild kits, etc etc................

Received the final graphic in the post this morning, can say the 88 is complete (for now!)

Taken for mot, first time on the road following rebuild, all ok, no advisories. Oil seal on power valve letting by, have a new one already so just that to do and road tax

Decals to do as well, originals.!

Wheels on and everything remitted,rear brake bled and c&s fitted all good (at last) Maybe down for mot next week if I have time.

Joining the 200 club! Be a while though, got my holiday to pay for first!

As I have finished the 1988 bike looking for something to do. Seriously looking at doing this to keep me busy. I'll have to look around and see if I can find the parts needed. Nice job!

@jonne123 welcome, good bike and will only get better of you keep on.looking after it, love the snowy backdrop BTW!

@Walney-Reptiles your dad is a good man!

Just a thank you and happy Christmas for running the forum this year, cheers Calum!

The bike has come out really well, very pleased with it. Wont be selling it (sorry Calum!) but need to decide what to do with it in the new year. There are a few things I want to go back on and improve but nitpicking really. I am thinking of going over the red bike in a refresh to replace nuts and bolts with original fixings. Sold the pw50 in hours, lots of interest as soon as I listed it and paid for the pw80 and a bit more. Last busy day today so will be stripping carb off the 80 in the next few days to get that running properly for grandson. Hoping to get started on the tdr250 next, just repairs (fork seals, brakes, wheels) ready for the spring.

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

@Calum said in Cable clamp on rhs fork:

No, it isn't.

Hi Calum, my meaning bracket on fowlers or csmnl,

It's there buddy, ordered myself this year, search again and you will find it

Yes, test it first to make sure, can be rebuilt/refurbed if required. Guy on Facebook does it, had all my rebuilds done for peace of mind
