Bought a fun beater

I just bought my dream bike. I had one in high school but sold it. I bought this bike knowing it needs a complete rebuild. The transmission pops out of gear in 3rd gear. The tear down starts tomorrow after the Iowa State game.

 

Amazing

are they all red? Does this one look just like your old one?

 

My old one was black and yellow.

 

My goal is to change the red and white to black and yellow. Powder coat the frame black. Send the motor to Ed Toomey for the rebuild.

 

Anymore updates. This looks like a cool build.

 

The engine was sent to Ed Toomey engines. The frame has been powder coated black. Currently I’m gathering black and yellow body work.

 

The black and yellow is classic Yamaha. Love it.

 

Since I live in Iowa I’ve been leaving it for a winter project in my basement.

 

Update: My motor is done and and is awaiting a dyno run and tune. My frame is no where near ready so I’m borrowing a friend’s rolling chassis.

 

Update: The bike is up and running. The carbs need more rejetting but runs awesome.

 

A new set of Toomey pipes are on order.
