here is a few, the closest Bell moto 5 I could find was a Rick Johnson replica, my bike was no means a Bradshaw replica WR but it was definitely a tribute. That jersey you have is bitchin', I also added a photo of my WR now.

Thankyou mate ,

The jersey came from a guy in the usa stating it was worn by damon at a sx event .. Damon signed it and says it's legit . Working on a way to display that one so as to view both front and back

Yep the forks are stock, the fork guards I got from Light speed a few years ago, they were current YZ fork guards at the time, or what they offered anyways, I was using a Honda front brake line and master cylinder and needed the newer guard so that I could clamp it at the top of the guard, on the stock guard the brake line clips inside the guard.

It's ok vmx3,I meant it as a rhetorical question . I find it funny that someone would build a sweet tank for a kind of rare bike that in its day wasn't taken all that serious. But just as most anyone clicking on this posted topic, I think the WR is a cool bike and would love to own and race one.

No worries, different strokes for different folks, The WR is a cool bike that kinda got a bad rap, it's a lot better then we were led to believe it was and I think it's way cool that someone has taken the build one to the max and made it super trick. I wouldn't drop 500 pounds on an alloy tank but how cool is it that someone out there did because they dig the bike that much. You gotta love the bond between a man and his dirt bike :D

I agree totally,i'd much rather see these trick bit's on the bike's than not see them.long may the cool builds continue.just fyi a custom wr500 gmx tank would be closer to 800 pounds to have one built as they are not a stock item for gmx.i have a gmx ally tank on my yz125 and a hand built carbon fibre yz125/250 tank aswell.it's only money and you can't take it with you right?

Ok, thanks. I am looking for that printing "YZR" and the pink-shadowed "YAMAHA" graphic for my '93 Emig YZ125. I will contact Frank at Evo.

No it made them shit because I used the Honda master cylinder, the ratio must be different but I have since put a YZ one on there and now the brakes are way better then they ever were.

I just scrubbed it over and over with contact cleaner until it came out how I wanted it, now whenever I wash the bike a scrub it with simple green and a scrubbing brush and it seems to stay white, its not perfect by any means but for racing and riding I can live with it.
