80 EX 440 retro mod build

[Sledtillded]

Well the damn thing didn't run. Lol. Got her all bolted in and of course no spark........ After some choice words figured out a bad stator was to blame. So apart she comes AGAIN Got a bad tether switch and an oil leak fixed and she came to life. Sounds good. Definatley more pull on the rope got the hood mounted and that really finished it off I really like the blacked out tunnel Just need to adjust the carb and mount the air box. Then it will be finally DONE !!!
Will post better pics of it on the snow
Was a fun project
Cheers !

That's awesome.
I should do the same with my old '81 SS 440

Almost a shame to get them dirty now! Mines a 78 with some need of electrical parts.

Great job. Always liked those old Yamaha's. I think that looks better than new.

Looks great sure hope the former owner gets to take it for a rip this winter

 

[Sledtillded]

No problem. We can arrange that.
