Yamaha Bobber
Hi,
the Yamaha XV 1600 Roadstar kit from Tamiya (1:12) is sleeping in my shelf of unbuilt kits since years. Now I decided to build it without chrome, lower and just with the necessary stuff. Here the front wheel and fender out of the kit: I shortened the fork and fender, here everything covered with gloss black: Wheels are dechromed and painted black. Front of the frame is modified, holes for the co-drivers footrests are closed. Painted engine Engine sits in the frame, rear wheel is fixed, front fork just added for the mockup

Re: Yamaha Bobber
Hi,
the tachometer on the tank I will not use, I modified the tachometer as an inlet for the air-box. Some mesh, black colour and it looks like this:
