Last night I put the stickers on which went suprisingly well. I used a product called Rapid Tac application fluid. It really helped a lot - you can have a few goes at getting the decal aligned correctly before it sticks permanently.
The rear brake caliper is also done - no probs there. Just waiting on the new front master cylinder from the states to make it complete.
I'll let some pictures do the talking!
Massive thankyou to my beautiful fiance who allows me, a grown man (supposedly) to completely turn one room of our house into a second garage to build a childrens motorcycle!
Also big thanks to my Dad who's machining skills went into rebuilding the kickstarter and also machining the original rear disc.
Can't forget Doug, our black pug dog who 'helped' at every stage of the rebuild!
Hey, I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your yz80 build up. Im currently looking for a 93 to build also. I too dreamed of owning one when I was a kid. Keep up the good work

I also dreamed of owning one when I was a kid because my neighbour had a YZ80 and his friends all had either CR80s, KX80s going up and down the roads near by. It made me love dirt bikes until today, specially 2 strokes.
ReplyDeleteI recently bough a 1993 Yamaha YZ80 very low hours imported from Japan, the dream finally came true and now my oldest child (11 years) is learning how to ride with gears on it.
