Hi Guys Still have my Yam up for sale [not really advertised the fact] and am thinking of adding YZ490 forks , wheels , ect and increasing the bikes overall look and handling [not that she's bad now] ... Good idea or not ? Whats the going rate for a jacked up TT ? Any ideas greatfully received , oh already have the parts to do the job other than the rear shocks , May bring the bike down to the next meeting , but not to race , Greg Attachments:

Leave as is...When you say jacked up,I assume you have been to Bristol and someone has nicked the wheels....

Mmmm looks like the court is still out on this one , when i say "jacked up" i really ment fitting the bike with YZ490 forks and longer rear shocks , plus would be fitted with twin-leading front brake and yz490 rear wheel ..... yes the bikes a hoot as she is and i can touch the ground .... but its for sale and making it more saleable by hotting up the suspension might increase its value . Having said that , making it road legal as a "street tracker" type bike would also add value and is an easier mod , Still at £1950 before she gets modified ..... may still bring her down to the next meeting "as is" All best Greg [ check out www.vapourblasting.com ] |

Hi Greg,
I've now got the NVT HL500 but i'm still interested in a road going XT for to and from work so if you are going to bring it with you to Clash on Sunday I would like to have a look. I was going to put an XT engine in my Husky frame but realistically don't have the time for such a project.
regards
Paul McMorran
