Nice work on the TY. Is that a CB 626 lurking in the background?

No, its a mazda RX3 sedan 1972...good spotting though it is a mazda!

yes sanded with 320, then 400 on a disc sander. then buffed on a buffing wheel...a sizal first, then a mop, then a finer wheel.

New parts arrived today...just waiting for the forks to come back, and then there will be a bit more progress..

Love your bike yamaico! top effort!

Some updates on the Ty this week. managed to finish smoothing out the frame, and get it and the steering head painted.

Ive also got the brand new gaurd and steering head bearings, plus a whole lot more new parts coming over from the UK.

Ive sent the forks away for rechroming, and polished up the ...

Got the frame back today....nicely blasted.

Red etch primer....i will soon smooth out all the areas where the side car was welded to, and paint the frame.
