LiamDTR Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Hey folks!! Took a few weeks out and have been working my backside off to fund the bike etc. Picked up a new frame with V5 even has an old MOT certificate and original datatag paperwork from 1999 anyway, Still frame issues but went ahead with that purchase as it was the right price and a fair old bit of paperwork with it. Unfortunately someone had a stamping issue with that frame too... (seems I'm prone to these!). But this one has all of the stuff to make me believe it!! Vin was stamped in reverse order and the intial letters (which are now on the right hand side of the number...lol) are actually backwards... weird but w/e. Anyway will be calling up Yam on monday to get some details from them etc and info if I can get a vin plate done for the bike or something along those lines, No idea what so ever but was worth a shot!!! Anyhoooo the Portuguese based company HPires sent my new rear fender through etc. 3 days from Portugal it took longer for my other halfs gator for her gear shift to come through! but.. looks insanely cool and has lifted the look of the bike Let me know what you think! Liam Ps. If you hadn't guessed, I wasn't kidding by working lots! I've had so little time to get on with it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xv535 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Hey Liam Your bike is looking good! What else are you going to do and when do you think you'll get it on the road? I'm envious of you Brit's...you guys can ride most of the year. Here we are limited to 6 months due to either snow or cold weather ....last night it was -32.5C with a high this afternoon of -15C....to damn cold to ride, eh! The long ange weather forcast indicates that the temp will make it above freezing aroundd the first of March...Cann't wait! Keep us posted on what you're doing.

LiamDTR Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 I am in the process of tidying it up Blackhat, It's just taking its time with work being in the way right now It'll be having the daytime MOT initially yes, but I'm going to phone up Yamaha tomorrow when I return home with the engine number to find out what year the engine is as I have a full wiring loom but it obviously needs to be the correct year The weather doesn't really bother me so much, I'm used to riding in all types of weather but I am looking forward to the sun!! Also I want the wiring and such sorted first as I really don't fancy not having a top grade alarm fitted and also not a fan of not being able to have sidelights on in the day!! Helps to be seen, so within two weeks of it being on the road and such I'll have all that dealt with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
