About to begin the restoration process on this one. I'm a bit undecided on what to do though. Part of me wants to keep it as original as possible and then another part of me wants to customize it a bit to suit my liking.
If I customized it a bit, I would probably have the frame powder coated the Yamaha ORANGE from the 70s and I would run a 20" x 2.125" wheel up front. The original set up runs a staggered wheel set with a 1.75" in front and a 2.125" out back. I like the look of the wider wheel so if I can find a front 2.125" Araya for the front I'll go with that instead.
I'd need to strip the spray paint off of the front shocks since they were originally bare metal.
I'm missing the original seat, seat bracket, rear fender and the chainguard.
