Here are a few pictures of the finished bike- I’ve included a picture of the bike in the Yamaha Museum for reference. As I mentioned in other posts, almost every one of the factory bikes was different. Some had different bodywork, some had slightly different paint schemes and the wheels varied depending on who rode the bike. This bike is using Air Tech bodywork which is obviously different than the factory bike so we had to do our best to match and scale all the graphics. We left the number plates off of the lowers since the bike looks cleaner that way. We can always add them on later if the owner decides he wants them.
The next step is getting the fuel and oil systems hooked up and doing all the tuning. That will be done up at Lance Gamma in NC. When the bike is all up and running, look for a video!
