Leave it how it is. Cover it in CRC and just look at it. I love it.
Cheers Grahame

I'm jealous, yours is a 175, i only got an HT1 90cc in that [or worse] condition. You'll have her running by the weekend [i did]. Think my pics are up here somewhere. Good luck.

Looks like mine is under [my rat bike's rustier than your rat bike] maybe i started that one!! by the looks. Just love seeing bikes like this turn up & then get them running after many years. The driving force being--someone saying, 'you'll never get that going'. Use mine pretty much daily down the road to our bit of land [any excuse to ride it]. I'll never restore mine but best of luck if you intend to do yours.

Well I could not resist , I started on her last night . Believe it or not but the rust is all surface under covers or eg the seat base is rust free not even any spots looks like brand new . Ok the motor is a one off special from Yamaha , one piece no moving parts . Looking through the stash Ive found a pair of good fork legs , front and rear wheels with good rubber , a tank , TY head light and tail light , a MX175 pipe .  mmmm  Vinduro  . Iain  8)

Hey YUMASTEPSIDE, I rode one just like that from  Ballarat to Coffs Harbour in 24 hrs in 1974, Just got my L plates (chasing a bit of skirt) but didn't know my L plates were only valid In Victoria ;D

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
