![]() ) but on the other side it means I got more time to fabricate on this bike! And to top it off the enduro training season has started, and my enduro bike broke (frame snapped) so my money is pretty low since I ordered a new bike (which will arrive around 1st of December. I unfortunately have a ton of work and been working 6 days a week and around 14hrs/day, so I've not really got the time to travel the 5hrs back and forth to my garage. This will be a update of how far I've come on the bike since last time, it's not that far but it's progress, and progress is good. When it got off the trailer it looked like this Īdmiralplux's Yamaha XZ550 1982 - sort of Café project Pictures in this first post will be from oldest to newest changes, since I've done a little bit already. Now when everything is back to normal in the money side of things I started to look at the bike again, since there was a electrical issue with the front cylinder turning off when using the blinkers (only left side though) I tore it apart and thought, let's rebuild this a tad better. Then I parked it for almost 2 years, since my Alfa Romeos swallowed all my money + a new apartment swallowed a tad more. ![]() I think this will be a pretty good bike to build on since it's quite rare where I live (and that's because of "natural selection") rare in the means of they where not so reliable and stuff, so they got crushed.Īnyway I didn't like the fairing so I removed those after 30 mins of getting it home, and it looked a bit better, I did put on a "temporary" electrical box and a Honda 800F 1982 frontlight and it looked a tad better. But still it was cheap and I thought why not have a modern bike (Everything after late 1970's is modern.) as a change of pace instead of constantly fixing oil leaks on the Sarolea's (and the same goes for the Velocette's also.). I got this bike around 2 years ago, bought it for roughly around 100$ and it was a good runner, with pretty high mileage on it. Since I really like Hondas and a few older English and Belgium bikes, this thing with Yamaha is a bit off for me (Yamaha's are not really considered as a "real" bike in my family, at least my dad thinks so and I can agree a bit.) I've been reading on this forum for a few months (without a account) and been getting inspiration for my Yamaha XZ550 -82 model.
