Thanks stu she looks good in the pic but don't look too close, she will be riding Cgrade so I wasn't aiming for a museum piece.
As for parts Ebay,Bjracing, and some pretty cool french sites not forgetting your local Yamaha supplier, most parts are easyer to get than some new bikes its just a case of knowing where too look and how fat your wallet is!!!!!!

Did you have any trouble getting the parts? Where from? I'm going to refurbish my TY this year, so I'm looking out for parts suppliers.
I have started my ty restoration,my local yamaha dealer (red baron motorcycles at liver pool) has,and can can get me just about anything new for them.
the only thing he said he cant get me is the plastic parts.....and the parts are so cheap, its great!!!
TY80 a model side cover and air box tube wanted.

You are still looking for swingarm? someone correct me if I'm wrong but the only difference between 175 and 250 swing arm is the chain tensioner mounting!! so buy a new one from your guy and mod the tensioner..
hope this helps get your bike in the section..
Cheers
The Ty250 swingarm is not interchangable with the Ty175 swingarm. The Ty250 swingarm is quite a bit shorter than the Ty175 and is wider at the pivot.
