I waited for months for the customer to discover a shipper then I waited for an additional month and a half for the shipper to lastly come for the bike.It was okay although, I wasn’t actually prepared to begin constructing one other bike in my storage but anyway so it wasn’t in the way in which. Had many good conversations with the brand new proprietor Kevin. He is a pleasant man and I am glad it went to somebody like him. His buddy is constructing one other one solely in inexperienced like my keeper so I get the sensation they are going to be taking excellent care of them.It is on it is manner now to Southern California .

I am going to in all probability construct one other simply because I’ve sufficient components however the subsequent one would be the European model with the rubber aspect panels on the gasoline tank.Traded a seat with a man in Sweden for that tank and I do love that orange coloration I shot the one I simply offered with. However,for my subsequent construct it may be the 1970 Yamaha R5 that I purchased and tucked away for the previous 25 or so years.Went to Michigan for this one .So,listed here are the final images of the 1970 Yamaha DS6C :
