Tunnels and Tanks

SR400 Tank fitting, cutting out the old tunnel, widening to accommodate the oil filled SR frame

Final tank position established. Collecting the SR400 and Old Nick's XS 650

Pop up 'Bike Show' Paul's XS 650 best in show

Engine back together

Engine back together and reunited with the frame. Whilst it was out the frame I took the opportunity to remove more of the paint from the crankcases that had been administered by the previous owner.
Another couple of days and Yamato should be breathing fire and travelling like Oni fujin, Hai!

Styling it!

Snappy Christmas!

Big Thanks to Santa my brother in Denver. CO

As much as Snap-on tools are more than can be expected for Christmas the 'Tokyo Hands' fingerless work gloves are right on the level, straight out of Japan

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.
