jas Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Here I go again, trying to talk myself into or out of another motorcycle restoration. I've already started on the engine and I had been debating on keeping it as a "spare" but I have the frame it came out of.... So toying with the idea of jumping in on another one. Any words of encouragement or discouragement would be appreciated. I am missing the following parts: Fuel tank, seat, front wheel, front axel, and the brake light switch.

lineaway Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I once used the front wheel, master cylinder and caliper from an `84 YZ125. It all bolted straight on, except a machinist made a bracket from the caliper to the fork that was just held on with hose clamps. Covered it up with a disc cover. Actually was a great working brake. Since you have a few TY`s, this might be an easier fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have p/n's for the caged rollers and steel bushings for the swing arm? Also need p/n's for the shock assembly bushings. Thanks in advance.

jas Posted November 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Well.... Restoration on hold now, I just bought another 85 so.... 3 running TY350's is enough for now! That didn't last long..... Decided to part out the last 85 and move forward withe the 86 build. It'll be a different bike than my other two..... Parting this one out... Frame ready to go to the powder coater..... It will be black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
