I posted last year when I bought this off of Craig's list. Just got it back from Vintage Iron.

Pretty cool! Brings back a lot of memories.

I did all the metal prep and sourced new parts, etc. Vintage Iron did the paint and assembled for me. (Now on to the 1971 Yamaha JT1 Mini-Enduro)

Had to show it off!

pretty cool. Dig the highboy seat.

Always had a soft spot in my heart for the Q-50 (or is it QA?)

Ended up with the z instead, but not that nice.

Very cool Todd!! I almost got nailed by Kenny Zhart stepping off the 5th floor elevator at the race headquarters at the 125 USGP in St Louis in 1973. He was riding a wheelie down the hallway on one of those exact mini's.....

Speaking of JT-1...... I remember getting it brand new, and picking it up at Burt Sugarman's Yamaha in Hollywood. I sold it and then bought a DT1 MX with the factory GYT kit and Z plates in the swingarm. HA HA HA Of all my ex's, those are the two I would like to have back.
