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/

Very nice bike. Love the colours, and the majesty tank. Lovely. See my resto's here.

Thanks Nelly

Here's a wiring diagram for you I just uploaded to My Site..

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.

Have you thought about an older bike? Yamaha TY175's seem to be a benchmark. See mine here, bought for

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

See http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.com/ - I've scanned in a LOT of info from old articles, brochures, etc. And, I'm in the process of restoring an NVT Rambler 125. Looking for any new old stock. Let me know what you have. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Al54OSkygPU/TraS2R1emnI/AAAAAAAAAfU/vFXHCHn0N8Q/s1600/021.JPG Regards Simon http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.com/

Can you post some pics?? Regards Simon http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.com/

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/

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/

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

See my resto progress here http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.com/,'>http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.com/, might be of some use. Note: you can get most of the small bits from CMSNL - see link on blog Regards Simon http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.com/

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/

See my front one here - http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.com/2012/01/ty175-front-mudguard.html.'>http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.com/2012/01/ty175-front-mudguard.html. A few hours with wet and dry and its well on the way to looking like new. I'm getting the bracket undeerneath re zinc'ed, and all the bushes, bolts, rubbers for the rear gaurd are on order from CMSNL (see link on web page above.) I've also sourced a new old stock rear inner brace - see http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.com/2011/12/ty175-nos-muguard-bracket.html.'>http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.com/2011/12/ty175-nos-muguard-bracket.html. A bit pricey, but I am after restoring mine to as new (well as best I can for a first resto!) Regards Simon http://motorcyclerestorations.blogspot.com

That's a good looking TY you've got there. Regards Simon
