My Bumble Bee - YTMBB 225

You could do a yellow and black engine, like what the OCC did for Lance Armstrong's bike. That would look cool.

Your close to my thinking buddy!

I'm going to repaint the head & cylinder the stock black and try a few fin edges with yellow. I have a feeling that will look stunningly brilliant. Get too carried away and it will start to look gawdy I think. A full yellow bottom might look really cool though against the black frame. Tha would be next winter though as I want to get this BB rolling.

Good idea though, Thanks!

Pait your new ignition pad yellow.

Well that you saw in another post already but my plans are to paint the "YAMAHA" on the plastic crankcase cover, the 2 skid plates and the shifter yellow.

Once all together I'll try one fork only, painting between the trips and the lower leg. Put together and see which looks best. That's down the road a ways yet though.

Huffa, how bout some of these here colored tires,

Imagine the yellow ones on black rims...




Heck, you could even put yellow 'tire flys'. Now that all together would look interesting...

[Huffa]

I forgot about those and yes........ that would be quite interesting. 86 bucks is way too much to pay (for me) for one tire though. Thanks for the heads up on the idea though.

What are tires "flys"?

[edog]

Interesting look indeed.

I have a 200 e axel out in the garage.I have nearly a whole machine out there.

Are you serious about that?

[Maine_Triker]

Tire flys are little lights that go on your valve stem and light up when your moving. Just search for 'tire flys' on ebay and you'll see some.

Well

[Huffa]

You would have to bring this up wouldn't you?

I'll be honest here edog, I have not touched it in a looooong time!

I got so far with it, ask all thoise ?'s , then came to a screechin halt with it!

What happened is I got discusted when I went to start the motor finally and it spewed oil out from a bad seal in the crankcase somewhere I guess and put it aside till I decided what I wanted to do with it.

I have another nice 225 that I bought and that needs a bit of work too but that was a very good deal. The 3rd one I have I can't decide if I should pull the motor from that to fix the BB or just fix the BB motor

Maybe once your done moving , well what I'm going to ask I guess I should PM you about? Concerns the motor though.

Anyway, it sits in a barn a few miles away from me right now

I've been waiting to hear more on this project but you haven't touched it?! Man, you better start working. :-P

Still ride much or no? Your not as active on the boards as ya used to be.

[edog]

Double posters derserve too die!!!!

No really

It defently looks good. Did you paint the wheels, or is that the factory paint on them? I've got to paint my new front wheel, so it will match my rears.
