up.yours

I am more than happy with all my hard work , I think it looks mint and takes me back to my child hood as I once owned one in these colours when I was a teen. I almost have a tear in my eye sat here looking at the end result. I can't wait until tomorrow to fill the tank and show it off.

ho fuck it ! I can't wait to show it off heres a sneak pre view.

anyway , after a long time in my brother in laws garage the tank and panels have finally come home , It started with the seat holding water in the dimples, wet arse , so had to be re covered, here's the old one. so I started to remove the staples with a selection of tools , screw driver pin nose pliers pretty easy job, if you have pets keep your staples in one place or your pet will find them then get yourself one of these for £30, put the front on first then pull it over the back and make sure it's kinda lined up, put three staples in the front once you have the piped edge in place then repeat at the back, then start to staple the sides in place , don't make the mistake of pulling the fabric to tight or it will look shit. now remove the front three staples and take out any ripples so you don't have any creases , then repeat at the rear . you should end up with something like this this is after trimming. onward to the panels, they sat in the garage in this state for nearly three months, because they had cracked and craved over the years, here's the old mellow yellow in it's former state and tomorrow I will be back with the transformation of which I'm more than happy with.

I'm going, "iff I get my fucking panels back.

big bag o shite.

on my phone john I will have to send them to my laptop then onto here , when I have time, "I'm a busy lad you know"

ta guys, the ones i have on the front are off a ypvs the metal type. the ones on the back could be off anything so there isn't any point converting them , i shall just watch on fleabay for some to crop up. until then i will fit these shit ones on the back and trancefare the back ones to the front.

they are paul. , tacky flimsy poor crappy shit infact.

hay andy just happened on this old post from google , is there anything else like this you know of that works pal.

watch this space !!!

Mellow yellow is taking shape. !..

Ta Andy that's a useful site.

ta andy. but I want them looking original.

well I will piss about with these a bit more then make my mind up which to buy.

cheers paul ,but I just found these , compare the price. http://www.motorcycleproducts.co.uk/footrests-yamaha-rd350-lc-rear-p-68907.html?gclid=CM2GgJXd_8sCFYMK0wodnssBBQ

did any other yams use the same pegs as the rd. maybe I could look on flea bay with a wider option.

it's not the nut that is coming loose, it's the retainer allowing the peddle to fall down . it's worn out, I need a new one realey but if I can get away with a fix , then that's the way forward didn't know the pasty pea was back on andy, when the bikes back on the road I will have a ride there. I should be going to the sprint run at Houghton tower too, I don't know what date that's on though .

the rear peg keeps on falling down when I'm out, it's annoying. how can I fix it, I'm too tight to buy another , plus these are originals but are well worn. best ideas welcome ,

I meant through breightmet

how fast was you going

sorry andy , the bikes in bits, looks good though, I was sat in the pub doorway watching the hail

nah not yet john, it will be soon. the paint has started to bubble because it lives in a damp shed. its also got at least twenty plus years of knocks and scratches. don't expect restro though, its just a bit of a face lift that's all.

Sorted, got some from yambits, I know I can trust them.

thanks tony, just been on there and can only find the ones I want (two stripe blue on white) in 250, and not 350. I,l ask if they can do me a 350 tomorrow .

cheers slice , it sounds feasible but I struggle typing on here let alone copying and printing. my nieces guy is painting the bike and he will laqure a set of decs in if I get some.
