After posting several unfinished photos and asking for help it's cool to finaly be able to show you the finished bike.
Cheers
Ola

Very nice bike Martin. Looks like plenty of love, money and time went into the build. Is there a built in silencer in the pipe or is it straight through?

I don't get how removing fins is helpful.  Surely you would want to add cooling on a racing machine?

Methanol is a beautiful thing

Thanks!
Pretty happy with finding the NOS blue Pettys, nos Petty HEX grips, original Yamaha rims etc.

About the fins, I did it solely because Eric Cheney did so on the engines back in the day.
Same with CCM.

It's said to stop mud clogging the fins, if you look at a engine made for MX it's usually a pretty big space between the fins, a street/offroad XT500 or B50 it's not.

Fitted with the rare hard to find euro Fox fork, Could not find a Yamaha lug set?
