The Billings Estate Vinage Motorcycle show

 I've never seen on of these Yamahas, I want one.

 It's a single cylinder 600cc dual carb and dual exhaust,  neat.

 Nice velocity stack plug!

 Look at the brazing on the frame.

 Note the speedo goes the opposite way. And bottom, a tire iron kick stand.

Here are a few pics of it done. I'll upload a video as soon as I can.

At last!!

As we left our heroes last at the Bat-cave...

My brake piston was seized so we rebuilt that. 

Having test ridden the thing I can tell you that even with the stainless braided line this thing stops like a dump truck.  I would definitely recommend swapping the front for something with dual disks. 

Here is the holder thingy I was making.  By the way, I found the little f@#ker today.  Figures.

And here it is, Finished.

Note, there is a number between the letters OC and D on my plate.  That bugs me a little.

I'll post a video after we go for a good ride.

It's alive!!!

The monster is awake.

That was Mr. G giving it a try.  Mr. Double J noticed the clutch is slipping , Mr. G is confirming that.

Mr. D also had a go at it.

I had a sticking throttle when the wheel was turned to one side.  I removed the push cable and lubed the pull cable and now it returns well.

I had to take out the carbs to do so, I don't have the steady hands or the dexterity to work in that confined space.  Stupid me, when I tried to put the damned things back I had them backwards.  I got  frustrated until I realized what I was trying to do.  The first thing I did when I figured out what a nimrod I can be is look around to make sure Mr. Double J didn't see me.  I know he's going to read this, and that's OK, but fixing it before he found out was important.  I have a way of frustrating Mr. Double J with my nimrodedness.  I don't blame him, I can do some real head scratchers.

Now what that is sorted out I have a clutch issue to deal with.  I have the one out of the spare engine, I'll check its tolerances and if it's good it'll go in the bike.

It's out of my house!!

I finally got the damn bike out of my dining room.  I'm so glad, do you have any idea what it's like to entertain with a bike in your dining room? 

Out the front door it went, thanks Mr. Double J.  Chico supervised the extraction.

Now we tie up some loose ends and see how well it tuns without an H pipe and with pod filters instead of the air box.

Here it is at the shop.
