Nice looking bike!  I love the pristine Yamaha emblem!  I can see your reflection in it.

Looks great!  You've got the rarer style case guards, too!

If you have an accident on a motorcycle, it's always your fault. Tough call, but it has to be that way. You're in the right, and dead -on a bike. The principle is not to have any accident. If you're involved in an an accident, it's because you did not anticipate. Then, by default, you failed.

Its taken a few years to get the bike to this point, when I first got it, it was sitting in a garage since the fall of 83, It was almost in the same shape as quadracer's but my tank had fist size holes, seized motor and rotten carbs, then had to find it a new home temporarily and got it back. I just wanted to post these pics to show all that all the help we do for others on this site does pay off, and I really owe a special thanks to GOD (a.k.a. lucky) for getting the project off the ground, he was able to track me down a complete engine for a great price. and tiger for the little things that make the bike look even better! ;D
Kia my truck is always ready for fishing!! may not have much paint but it will pull a boat and loads of room for rods lol, tis the season to juggle riding and fishing!
and for all who may want to get new tank emblems, they are still avail from yamaha, they were back ordered but only took 10 business days to get them, they were $28cdn each and the part number is  3X0-24161-01

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA lets go again baby !!!!!!

'82 Vision, Pearl Orange finish, lots of up-grades!!!

Nice looking bike!  I really enjoy seeing the finished product.
A bad marrage is like dirty carbs... It just makes everything else suck.

wow she looks cherry now!
82 with fairing, rejetted, 83 turbo seca fork and brakes coming whenver I acquire the rest of the parts, and she stops breaking long enough to be in the garage for an upgrade instead of a repair.

Lovely job!
