  1. Wet 'n Dry does it - used VERY wet to avoid melting the plastic. See my efforts here: http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/ty175-front-mudguard.html Simon

    Nice original condition bike, but too expensive in my opinion. Simon http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.co.uk/

  5. Almost certainly a Sammy Miller seat / tank unit. See mine here. You can also see the original position of the shocks. Good luck with it.
  6. Have you thought about an older bike? Yamaha TY175's seem to be a benchmark. See mine here, bought for
  7. Thanks for the comments guys, I'm pretty pleased with it so far!. btw, I'm with Spawtydog, let her have the TY, and she'll be 'grateful' ever after, well at least for 1 night? Simon

  10. Hi, from Reading, Berks, UK. I've set up a blog at http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.com/ to follow the restoration of my TY175, along with my NVT Rambler 125 (remember them??). This is my first resto, and I'm trying to get it to highest standard I ca, Many, Many new old stock parts have been used, int bash plate, rear under guard plate, etc, etc. Most small parts are available from CMSNL - see link on blog page. Reasonably cheap, and reliable delivery. Any commenst welcome, best regards Simon http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.com/
  11. what colour did you go for? I did mine in silver, and painted, rather than powder coat. http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.com/2011/12/defining-moment-in-any-restoration-i.html'>http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.com/2011/12/defining-moment-in-any-restoration-i.html http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5LAT_vfdDtQ/Ttf1YD2nZHI/AAAAAAAAAn4/RTMVzgWiwIM/s1600/080.JPG Regards Simon http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.com/
  12. Agree. I had mine aqua blasted, and I'll leave unpainted. I'll protect with a wipe of ACF-50 used sparingly on a rag. It lasts a long time, and is redone every few months should be fine. http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.com/2011/12/ty175-wheels-back-from-aqua-blasting.html'>http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.com/2011/12/ty175-wheels-back-from-aqua-blasting.html Regards Simon http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.com

    Ty 175

    As I won't be riding mine much (bad back) I used cheap ones off eBay - http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.com/2011/12/ty175-todays-progress.html.'>http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.com/2011/12/ty175-todays-progress.html. For the front, I believe standard is to have the forks 20mm protruding out of yolk. See http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.com/2012/01/ty175-brakes-and-forks-update.html.'>http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.com/2012/01/ty175-brakes-and-forks-update.html. There's a couple of reference images there too. Regards Simon http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.com/
