All

Haven't had a lot of time to mess with it lately. Getting a little closer. This is a crappy picture of how she sits now.

I did order all the new parts listed above & should get most if it delivered on Saturday. They still haven't gotten the BOSS, COLLAR so I dont know when I will get that. I'll give Beach Yamaha a call & see if they have that part. Thanks for the help!!

Need a set of foot pegs & a kick starter. Pretty complete other than that. Need a seat for the '81 too if you happen to have one... or parts of one? Give me a call. Thanks!

Ordered the new parts. Will see how tight the linkage is with the new parts. Thanks for the help guys.

Looks like the reason for the linkage being loose where it attaches to the power valve is because it is missing a piece part. Part # 26 (boss,collar) is MIA which would explain why it wore out.

I have found them thru Yamaha but didnt want to spend that much on it. A big reason I was thinking about a used one is because I will also need the linkage that goes to the governor. The spot where it attaches to the power valve is worn badly. Appreciate the tip on the dots... I did not know...

Will try them as well. Thanks!

Thanks. I sent him an email prior to posting this but haven't heard back from him. Will call.

Thanks for the info Rob. Appreciate it!

This is a picture of a different project but you can see our victim in the background.

I have replaced everything in the steering tube, except the obsolete inside out backwards seal, with new Yamaha parts. Thought maybe i would get lucky & the the old obsolete seal wouldnt leak if I cleaned everything up really good... I was wrong. It still leaks a little. I am going to prove the fact that I have very little...

Very interested!! Email sent. Thanks!!

Thanks. Cant find the ad but will keep looking.

There are 3 places that the upper back has been welded back onto the frame. Looks like it was broken off or at least partially broken off? The loop(?) that is under the seat is bent up pretty bad as well. Dont have any pictures here now but can get some. Never heard of Marks Motorcycle Swapmeet. Will check it...

Not what I wanted to hear but thanks for responding!!
