Looks like a fun project

I have had good luck cleaning tanks by filling them with a container of evaporust and a handful of old nuts and bolts....then over at few days of soaking and shaking things look pretty good.then flush with a solvent.I used to line tanks but no more.

For the exhaust,no Chrome to damage ,get the pipe and silencer hot enough to start the carbon burning(propane torch) and leave it outside.....smokes and stinks and not neighbour friendly :)

Got this TY early 2019 and went to work on it , did my first vintage trials this weekend and had a blast riding it. It preformed very good and I can’t wait to compete in a cupple weeks on it again. 

This is my first bike build and I had a blast ,

Just finished my ty50m

bought it off a bike breaker and it had seen better days.. 1g7 Yamaha serial number puts it as a uk bike. 1977

im in the process of getting her registered for the first time. Hopefully! All the paperwork with the dvla at the moment so who knows!!

any one else tried to register a similar bike for the first time? How did it go?

Where did you get the alloy tank from?

Beautiful work, almost a shame to put paint on it.

 I built the tank, I started off and was going to make a fiberglass tank and that is what is painted yellow and black. It is now just a cover  I don’t run the cover since the aluminum tank turned out so well but I will if I ever dent the tank. The Yamaha on the aluminum is not a decal, that is sandblasted in there and then acid etched.

There will be tweaks that happen for quite some time yet, but she can be ridden and enjoyed.  And that was the goal.:thumbup:

That sure looks great. I'm intrigued with the black shields/guards inboard of the footpegs

Just wanted to protect frame.It is cut from a thick black plastic potting tray with tin snips then cleaned up with sand paper.add almost no weight.
