Old Bike #5

1966 YL1 Yamaha
This one I'm excited to work on.  It doesn't look to complicated and I'm currently putting the Bridgestone back together , so I'm thinking of all that I need to buy for this one.

I noticed that the Bridgestone is taking a long time because I buy one or two things at a time, I think for this one, I'm going to buy most/all of what I need and see if I can get it done quicker. (now that i'm smarter)


Old Bike #4

This one is on hold for now. No Spark

Old Bike #1

The Red 1983 Honda C70 started it all.
This one was purchased from a sweet old lady who's husband passed away, it was his and she just wanted it gone.  It only had 1000 miles on it.

I brought it home, changed the oil, put some gas in it and it started right up.  I was hooked.

  • Front Basket
  • Turn signal Lense covers
  • Fuel lines
  • Tires/Tubes
  • Spark plug
  • new gas tank (just because)
  • carburetor kit
