    Pretty nice barn find!!!!!

    Myself and my buddy Jap Bike Randy spent the morning digging this out from the front of a barn. Had to move a bunch of 2X4s and various other clutter and we had to litteraly unbolt the panels of a 16 FT wide door and remove the entire door to get it out to the sunlight. I got nearly 30 pics so i will have at least 3 posts of pics. There are 2 MINT condition owners manuals without so much as a smudge on them, factory service manual, the ORIGINAL Yamaha printed document baggie for under the seat in the plastic compartment, an original "tips" booklet , an original Yamaha printed baggies for the owners manual and suplimental. The bike was bought from the ORIGINAL OWNER and has the original title in his name. Frame and engine numbers match.

    Note the last sticker on the plate!! Previous owner had neck surgery and simply shoved the bike to the front corner of the barn and walked away..has at there for 26 years!!!! Now its time to revive the old girl.

    So without further ado, heres the bike just after we took her off the trailer..

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

                                  Yeah cool little find! But I wish you'd get rid of the imageshack accnt. Being redirected sucks, and then the pop-ups suck too. Not bashin on ya, we do enjoy your pics and such, just irritating to be subjected to ads, spam, spyware and such to look at em.

                                                          1978 GS 1000 E, 1979 GS 1000 S, 1973 Yamaha TX 750, 1977 Kawasaki KZ 650B1, 1975 Honda GL1000 Goldwing, 1983 CB 650SC Nighthawk, 1972 Honda CB 350K4, 74 Honda CB550

                                                          NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


                                                          I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.
