Yamato snapped gear shaft

Lost 1st and 4th gear, Gear selector fork? No! snapped gear shaft? Yes! Good for nothing except some nice pictures and the chance to rip the engine and gearbox apart and fix it! Merry Christmas to me, very lucky, I get a chance to tinker.

New old stock, nice!

A friend found this. Matt Bone

The Yamato was snapped at the Distinguished gentleman's ride out by Matt Bone of:

He has some very nice prints but I think I will be ordering me one of these for starters.

Summer's over

Lowered seat rails

A bit of testing

Quick test then a ride to see what falls off.

The Event

Imperial Customs was kindly invited to 'The Event' hosted by The Bike Shed BSMC at Shorditch Studios, Batemans Row, London. It was a really well presented show, with some unique motorcycles. The bike park as always yielded some more works of art. Big thanks to Adam from 'Untitled Motorcycles' and Dutch and Vicki from 'The Bike Shed' for the invite. It was a great Saturday out and the bikes got some fine coverage.

Cutting the rear subframe SR400

Such good fun, hopefully someday I will get carried away and chop the whole back end off and do a hardtail
