See pic here :http://i.imgur.com/ZlOFAAt.jpg fresh from the farm.
I picked this bad boy up from Waihi. Not as bad as I thought it would be. Just a lot of dirt, spiders and cockroachs. However it did not run.
Progress so far:
Cleaned the Carb and points to get her running. Runs now. And cool riding a 5 speed 50cc motorcycle.
Need a lot. More work
Fuel tank clean out
Air filter clean
Timing for points
New road tyres
Polishing and painting
Lights
Rego
Shock seals
Etc

Hi all,
Abarth with his v50 mentioned I should post my build on here. I was an oldschool member in 1994 and now back.
In a late night, can't sleep, trademe purchase I picked up a rough, farm raised yamaha 1979 ty50. It is a small framed trials bike, quite popular in the UK. It is Not in "mint" condition. Even missing a few parts. Attached are pics of it fresh from the farm. Suspiciously with a working speeds and only 5000km on the clock. Currently in the mid rebuild and looking to get it road registered. Will post more progress soon.
Anyone else got one?

Hi guy pie. I think that is my biggest concern at the moment. Recroming is quite expensive and replacements are quite hard to find. I might looking into this brase and polish option. I rubbed the chrome with aluminium foil and they look a bit better but don't want the seals constantly being destroyed. Ideas would Be appreciated.
