Hi Bill, thanks very much for your kind offer, I was lucky enough to get one locally
off rookie#1 that is the correct model.

Got my pipe finished. No idea if it will work or not but I have looked at so many different pipes I'm confused, so this one is a combination of everything. I've probably got it totally wrong but I have plenty of oxy and plenty of sheetmetal

[yamaico]

One from the other side.



Have to go away for work next week so it'll be a push to have it ready for CD9. Hopefully the rest goes together OK.

[yamaico]

Got a one week reprieve from going away for work so I've managed to get the wheels built and the frame and tank painted. Hopefully on the weekend I can put the motor together then just have to finish the guards and muffler, ready for CD9. Don't know much about these trials bikes, but it seems to look something like one, so I hope it works OK

[David Lahey]

Looking forward to it Mike.

Thanks Dave - -whether it works or not is another story.

The colour's a bit loud Mick, but it was there . I can't wait to give it a run.

Started on the guards today. They both turned out to be very rusty, particularly where the reinforcing is underneath,



so I went into the stash and found a front guard off a Harley softail (go ahead and take your cheap shots now ) which was very similar to the CT3 guard, so it was just a matter of drilling the old mounts off the original guard and welding them onto the new guard.



Couldn't do anything with the back guard so I've ordered a Cappra fibreglass replica from Bron-Moto, which should fit OK. Still well under $600 and don't have to buy anything else that I can think of, luckily. I'd hate to spend more on this than I could buy a decent TY175 for

Looks like you've solved the possible too light front end problem 

[yamaico]

Finally got the little trials bike finished - came in just under $600. I gave it a run yesterday and it seemed to work OK. Felt nice to ride with plenty of bottom end, but I'd like someone who knows to have a ride on it at CD9.







The Cappra guard fitted up OK except the seat cutout was for the original Yamaha guard, so there's a bit of a gap. The Montesa indent in the guard was a good spot for a tuning fork sticker.
