Posted January 18, 201312 yr Moderator I think I have brought my next project. Off fleabay, I have won it but I haven't seen it or checked the paperwork so only "might" at the moment. USA import, not yet registered in the UK either. Oh dear!!
January 18, 201312 yr Author Moderator What I think I know about it: Needs to be registered in the UK - but he said he has the import papers. It runs - I haven't seen it, let alone heard it. It obviously has a few parts missing. It is local to me. It is a Yami It is a 2 stroke It is supposed to be a 1965 model It is a YA6 125cc It should look like this - taken before the snow. But as I said, I haven't seen it yet.
January 18, 201312 yr Moderator it looks challenging but there again I've seen worse...you dont see many of those around eh
January 18, 201312 yr Author Moderator Surprisingly there are still a lot of spares available. The seats are available from Thailand as 1 piece. most of the stuff will have to come from the States but still a lot of NOS around. Exhausts seem to be scarce but I have only been researching for a week while it has been up on fleabay. I just hope the frame is OK as it looks like it is pressed and I hope there is not too much missing on the side that isn't shown.
January 19, 201312 yr Moderator looks ok to me too. no where near as bad as the Gilera I started with. the front wheel spokes look new and the rims look good too. rusty wheels can take £400 off you easily
January 19, 201312 yr Author Moderator The TS rims, spokes, tyres and hub paint cost around £600. I popped around to the sellers house this morning to pay him and had a quick look. I am please with the buy (for now). Hopefully it will be delivered tomorrow. I picked up the C&E 389 and a few other paper bits. I PM'ed Paul Dawkins but haven't heard anything back yet. The bloke has loads of projects - including a Gilera and a Vespino.
January 19, 201312 yr Moderator I got some aap Taiwanese rims from a company in NI £4 delivery look ok too http://motorcyclemegastore.com/motorcycle-wheel-rims
