1987 Yamaha YSR50 - Resto Mod

Owned a YSR as a kid had always wanted to build another. Found this one for $220. Pretty sure it had been tossed off a cliff and lived at the bottom of a ravine for the last decade. 

Just lovely. WTF was I thinking? 

Eventually gave up and threw the tank away. 


Stripped to the frame, powder coated and now sporting a set of spun aluminum wheels. Also aforementioned new tank. 

Before I had a bench, so built most of it on the ground. Crazy ladies at team Calamari built the bottom end of the motor for me. 

Proper chamber and fresh bodywork! I worked at PM at the time, so massive full floating disc and 4 piston caliper did the stopping duties.
