Tommy10bikes Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Finally another restoration that i have just finished, it was a bit harder to fined parts here in the UK but now its done and runs fantastic. This is how i bought the bike which was seized and hadnt been running for years. Hope you enjoy the pics. TTB

Tommy10bikes Posted May 16, 2011 Author Posted May 16, 2011 Hi Guys Thanks for the comments guys, Yamahahead & Oldgitonabkie its ts good to see you on another site , i just thought i would share the hard work and show what is capable from nearly a total wreck. Blackhat250 the barrel & head paint is Simonize VHT paint but i think Sperex is better, only problem is i havnt bee able to find any local.The tyres are Cheng Shin, bloody dangerous in the wet but period looks, i managed to get the last Tyre from Kedo in Germany. Cheers TTB

Tommy10bikes Posted May 22, 2011 Author Posted May 22, 2011 Money cuddna buy the work done tommy " bring her to squires Cafe 3rd sept. I see a TY50P In background,,,, Yes the TY is from the first year of production with the frame number being 000205, they only manufactured them for 1 year with pedals, the bike i have has never been registered or restored and has only 1 mile on the clock so very rare.
