Being new to the Yamaha club I spent a lot of time researching. I started looking at pipes because the old set up have some huge dents. I believe them to be JR power pipes. Facebook pointed me to Garret at GRA2strokes. His Millennium GP pipes looked perfect, so I ordered a set. I should have them this weekend. After finding out he doesn't just make pipes we started talking about setting the bike up with a R5 top end.
So this is in the works!
R5 top end, Wossner piston's, stage 2 porting (open up intakes and exhaust cut down sleeves on main transfers weld exhaust gasket and match to pipe flanges, raise and aim transfers. Machine heads with o ring and dowel pins with proper squish and compression ratio for pump gas.
I also pulled the trigger on an alloy TZ350 style tank and tail. So who knows where this will end up.

they do look like modified j&rs.
I dig it. I assume you got it with the seat done already. its funky for sure. sohc cb in the background looks good. love the body work. :patriot:
It did come with the seat, I'm still debating whether or not I like it. It is however very nicely done.
The CB is a long time project, my intention is a CR750 style hot rod.

Very cool bike.
Thank you, it looks like it's going to turn into an awesome little project.

Well I should've taken better pictures when the pipes arrived, but I was excited. So I sent them off to get ceramic coated. Went with a semi flat black color. The quality of the silencers is excellent!

i dig it, saw on FB last night or this am. :vroom: :clap:
how do you shift with the lever so high? serious q. my foot would never be angled that high.
Thanks man! The angle will change, I was waiting until I knew where the pipes would fit. Still need to set everything up the way I like it.

Super cool! I'm also a fan of the TZ look, but IMHO that bike is a rear fender away from being just right :bacon:
Thank you, and I agree, I think this bike is almost done. I'll just need to build another one, start from a frame.
The rear fender has me sort of stumped at the moment. The frame was previously cut, so fabricating something decent is a challenge.
