Yeah..I can't believe that I actually got my license on my TY and rode it to work.
But it was really fun to ride and felt safe amongst the traffic..plus I could easily do wheelies and show off a bit.
Wouldn't be a good idea now days
Thanks for the advice.. I still have some wear on my current ...

Thanks guys...I will keep a look out for some plastic guards. Then I must look for a seat assembly.
Looking forward to pottering around on the 'old girl' this season.(mainly in the back yard mowing down the weeds )

What's your opinion on FG as opposed to plastic?
I'm thinking moulded plastic is better.
Interested in your thoughts.

Just noticed these items on Ebay and thought it was priced about right.
Can anyone recommend this seller?

My TY could certainly use some new plastic..Roger

Thanks David.
I contacted Titman's and they will make me a 60t alloy flat chain wheel for $120.
Sounded reasonable.
Is the Talam alloy better than what I have used in the past?
I believe a good quality alloy with 60t should wear very well.

<<I did have to use countersink head screws though to prevent the heads of the standard screws from rubbing on the swingarm.>>
The c/s screws would help a lot to reduce sheer force. I don't believe my screws ...

It's in the 'universal' category and suits Elsinore etc

Woops..just realized those chain kits on that site are for 520 and I require 428H
Anyone know where I can get replacement 428H @ 14/53?

Thanks guys..yes I tried a 'o' ring..it was a tight squeeze..might stick with the 'racing' chains and alloy chain wheel..hopefully they are better than they used to be. Now it is 'retired' it will have an easy life.(like it's owner)
