My new baby is born - to beat red things

[mainline]

very nice looking bike, I'm new to this era so I wouldn't have picked it as a conversion from an IT.

This might be a stupid question, but are all the IT's able to converted with the same sort of mods? It seems their prices are well down in comparison to a similar vintage and capacity YZ that would still need replacement plastics and other work done to it.

[TonyB]

mainline, yes any it465 is capable of being a yz like this, and as you say if you are going to resto a tatty example you will replace plastics anyway...

Sweet TonyB .  Want to post some more photos ?? - lets see how that clear VHt went on the zorst pipe.

Cheers

Thanks for the nice comments, Pipe is holding up ok, but I should have given it 2 or 3 heat cycles before takin git onto a sandy grassy track as the paint, even after 1 week got tacky when hot. Its settes down now and stays hard, heh heh heh... but the damage is already done. It is still a much more effective method than oiling it every time?? It has also discoloured to a bronzy colour but it looks good. leathers have worn some off when cornering too.

nuther shot... the white shit on the one side of the pipe is the residue that seems to stay forever after a race at Nudgee, those that have ridden that track will know what I mean, its a barstard to get off.

Tony,
That stuff is real abrasive, it will pit your plastic after a while, gives everything a sandblasted finish.
Not sure what it is though.

[YZ250H]

Looks good Tony.  You've certainly proved that the VHt clear works.  Good news for heaps of us.  Way easier than oiling the thing everytime.  Thanks for sharing

now i'm gonna be a little bit of a smart arse here,
but refering back to my earlier post on page 1, where i offered to count the 'red things' behind you, remember that one Tony? so at the last bmcc club day, i had that very opportunity to 'go a countin' and MAN! that bike was sooo fast he was about to lap em! even on the first lap! cause i think it was 3 red bikes that you were about to lap but couldn't quite do.
lucky theres no red maico's in my 125 class, just them silver thingies on methenol.

[TonyB]

Vandy I gave the buggers a chance on Sunday heh heh heh NOT, mmm i'm sure     my yellow thing can beat the red things, shit maybe i need a good rider now. The first 3 races were a disaster for me, they were the first three since my 6 months of hell from the last big prang, so i found it difficult to mix with the pack, but I pushed the memories aside on the last race with 250 and 500 together I was sitting 3rd behind the red thing number 9 (christ he's quick) and a YZ 400 on the first lap then the back wheel went down and I continued for another 2 laps with the back end all over the place , tyre is now rooted...

hey brad were you raceing  and or are you going to put up with this dibble

[090]

Ha Ha Ha. I will let them talk it up Paul... and shut them down when i race them next. I will wave to them at the start when the over rated bike pulls past them at the start. No i wasn't there btw. No. 9 is Steve New. He's no spring chicken either.

[paul]

thanks bud when you do get some one to take a pic so we can put this bullshit too rest once and for all.at least when its done he can put the headlight back on and  use it for what it was intended

[TonyB]

touchy ar'nt we fellas... is that overated thing getting to you hehehe

[090]

Hey Tony. I was refering to my over rated Maygo, not your beast.
Oh! See you at Coles?
