This is one of the two projects I'm working on at the moment. The built will be OOB so no PE or resin. Why? Well this is a bike that I'm doïng for my club to take on events. So hopefully this will be a quick built.

The bodywork has been sanded, primed and sprayed blue. I've also sprayed a mist coat of clear in preparation of the decals.

Some other parts have been primed at the moment.

All comments are welcome.

This was my fourth build, like seven years ago or so. I'm very fond of the livery and you seem to have made a great start with the cowls. I'll stay tuned.

What a feelings I'm having here...
I build four yamahas like that during my life when I was 9 A couple are in my "box of stock parts" (Which the majority are useless) and the others that were build when I was 15 are dismantled to be repaired and improved in the future.

Hope to see more of that bike soon.

Thanx Ard

Have fun on the forum

I couldn't resist in using some other parts then provided in the kit.
So for this built I'll be using the brand new products from Geronimo Works; The Michelin rain tyre set and cold weather brake discs.

At the moment I've modified the rims of the YAMAHA 2005 but they will be replaced by the YAMAHA YZR-500 ones later on.

For now only the tyres are ready. The discs are in progress. Enjoy!

Good job
but I think in that period the tires you want to use didn't exist.... :confused:

They look beautiful, what black did you use for the tires?

It's fantastic to see the results of the work Geronimo done there with the tyres... what can I say? those are a master parts.

I'm also interested in which color is used to paint the tyres.

Before I start, I would say that a lot of credit goes to Geronimo for making these amazing tyres.

For the painting I used a little technique called drybrushing.

I used following steps; primer, gloss black, decals, mat varnish, drybrushing antracite black, a little wash of paynes grey on the decals.

I hope this will help.

Does anyone know if these tyres were used back in the days, meaning 2001?:confused:

I think I read somewhere that they are 2004 and later but I'm not totally sure. I don't care though...
