YZ 465 billet clutch baskets.....
« on: November 20, 2009, 01:57:39 pm »
Paul tells me that there was discussion onhere a while ago about billet clutch baskets for YZ 465's. I've scoured the search ares but can't find mention of one. Does such an item exist and where can I get one from?  :-\

If you tie a string to a small toy sheep, and then tie the string to a stick, and then attach the stick to the crossbar so the sheep sticks out about a foot to the front, you'll find that those YZ465's (and any Yamaha for that matter) will go heaps faster. Their farm bike heritage will really shine through. Can you get through scrutineering with the shovel holder still on?
Cheers,

Do you have to find a toy sheep that was around in the era? I don't want to turn up and have someone protest my sheep as too modern? Are there any suppliers that do reproduction EVO sheep?

Once again thanks all.
I've been having a look at some of the "Farm bikes" and their riders for next year and I've a feeling that some of this 'joviality' will be short lived (at least untill after the final team's race next year  ;))
