Screw Guernsey

Welcome in. Firstly, best pop in to the newbie section and say hi! Secondly, yes, AFAIK the clutch adjustment screw is universal, but if you can get to a Yam dealer they should be able to supply one for not much money! Thirdly, I reckon it would make a great looking Cafe racer. The one I owned was ratted, but was starting look a bit Cafe Racer ish by the time I'd finished with it. In fact, so much so that I'm currently in negotiations to get it back so I can do the same thing!

It looks like LBPRE051000203096 to me. That follows the usual pattern for YBRs. None of the Vin Decoders could find it, but they couldn't find a couple of good known VINs either!!

I'm getting her a T-shirt and a dildo - that way, if she doesn't like the t-shirt she can go f*$k herself!

No, it's just so small and subtle that you can hardly make it out!

Well, progress has been slower than I had hoped, due to various people letting me down on timings! However, it's nearly there! Just needs a final bit of work on the paint on the tank, and needs tweaking on the Dyno, then I should have it back!

They're good bikes, bullet-proof motors. I've had 2. One was my daily run-around, and never gave me any trouble at all. The other one was given to me, had been stood for 2 years plus. Stuck a new battery in it, a new tank on it (the original had rotted away by the fuel tap, and the first lot of new fuel fell out of the bottom!), stuck some new fuel in it, gave it a spray of EasyStart, and it was running within a few minutes. Was going to do something with it, but left it standing for a while longer before giving it away again. When the guy came to pick it up, it still started straight away! They aren't the fastest bikes in the world, but they will get you from A to B day in and day out!

Welcome in. Looks like you had a bit of a bargain there! Looks like the exhaust should free up a few horses! As for dogbones, I think you're out of luck. If I remember correctly the 850 shock bolts straight onto the top of the rear swingarm. You could possibly just replace the shock with a slightly longer unit. I have a small list of rear shock sizes somewhere. I'll see what I can dig out.

Welcome in!! Love Viragos, that's why I have 2!!

Welcome in!! Good luck with sorting that wiring!! Just rip out the fuses and get yourself either some decent inline fuses, or have a look for a fuse block - there's usually some on Ebay.

What's an MOT?!?!? None of that nonsense over here! Or road tax!!

Sidecars are a little awkward and unforgiving to ride if you're not careful! I've been using mine as daily transport for the last year. It took some getting used to, but I can now quite happily 3-wheel drift it round right-handers, and have a reputation for flying the chair whenever possible! That could explain why I've had to have the frame welded twice, and managed to snap the stub axle on the chair!
