Yamaha Help Needed YZ400F (also D, & E models IT etc)
« on: June 19, 2011, 12:16:08 pm »
Ok i need some help for a mate that is restoring a YZ400F 1979 model.

he needs a donor frame ( a ratty one or junker) to cut some brackets and sections off, a YZ400 D or E and even an IT frame from same era will suffice.

He is also after plastics for YZ400F, can some one give me the contact of that Aussie guy on NSW sth Coast that was doing repro stuff.

I have 250E and 125G frames if they're of any use. Some of the brackets may be the same or similar.
Cheers,
K

You're looking for VMX Plastics, aka Concourse Parts. Easiest way to get stuff from him is Ebay. In the unlikely event that he doesn't have the guards and front number plates listed, then I'll see if I can dig out a contact number.

I've got a pre-butchered YZ125F frame if its any use?
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.
