I Have been wanting to put this together for some time, it was pretty rough when I got just the frame. I had a lot of delay due to medical issues, but got painted last summer when thing were at the worst. Mostly it need grips and pedals. A little before and after.
Tell me what you think it is my second build.
Thanks Gary

That's a really nice bike! Hey, are those those chrome araya 2.125 steel rims that have the dimples? That look like 7Cs? If so, those are my favorite rims.

Yellow is a motocross color and always looks good. Guess that is why Yamaha had it.

Thanks Guyster I've got a picture of yours in my phone with all other ones I've found.
I don't know if you had a chance to look but I'm still looking for a swing arm for my LRV
Thanks Gary

Yes looks like it , I really like them also. I'm not up on all the part numbers and what is exactally correct, I'm learning and having a blast.
I've always liked yellow I have my 97 torker cruiser as my daily rider. I used to race it when my older kids raced, we retired in 2000.
Thanks Gary

Bike looks great. Great job...Now here is a good example of when restoring a bike is the best option. Sometimes, it just makes more sense.
