Well it's actualy Flikker, but in slang it's pronounced as Flikkah

Nothing very interesting I'm afraid just a few detail shots I thought I'd share

Front hub showing reshaped torque arm etc.


The stand came from Monkey Wrench it's one of the ones that FS1 almere sell, it took a fair ammount of fettling to fit correctly and once on I didn't like the chrome so I painted it to help it hide against the swing arm. Also shows the remains of the YB chainguard after a lick of the black stuff to.



Rear torque arm after drilling


Just about see the black hub centre



Last one for now, the duck tail front mudflap looked pants once the bike was on it's wheels so I picked up this second hand YB one on Ebay.

[Flika]

Yes it's going to be 48mm bore, tuned YG1 barrel and piston, 22mm carb.......................

[rise and shine]

wat een barrel

[Flika]

Bit more progress today got the tank badges sorted at last.



Also restuck the seat cover again as the super duper strong adhesive I used seems to have turned to liquid again??????Weird, going to drill the base and fit some rivets to ensure it stays put this time

It's all a bit boring the last couple of days, I decided to make a new wiring harness to suit my needs. The one exciting thing that did happen today was this......



My 48mm genuine Yamaha piston and rings arrived from the U.S

[Flika]

Been busy doing boring stuff :'( Got it wired, decided to make my own harness up as there is precious little original fizz equipment on there anyway.Just need to source an old looking headlight switch and it's all done.

As I'm not running a charging system I figured a 12v battery would be a better bet and made up a battery carrier today to get it in the frame.





Bolted in just to the left I fitted a charging point adapter to save messing around disconnecting wires to get battery charger leads on which i will obviously need to do from time to time. The ignition system doesn't need a battery so it will run just the brale light and horn most of the time I don't intend to be using it too often at night though I'm sure there will be enough power to get me home should the need arise.
