Just a small update on the part acquisition

Add 1 NOS Expansion chamber- Thanks LonesomeZ!!

Got the dust off wiped it down and looks great.

Add NOS kick lever assembly - No big deal but one more new part to go on this beast.

Late fall or early winter I'm hoping. Been busy doing the stone work on my house (Heavy natural fieldstone- not the fake stuff - up to 14 foot high. I post some pics in the open forum.

Anyway, Still in the parts search phase ( I only want to put it together once) I'm getting anxious but the wait will be worth it

What are you doing about the wheels?
For my OEM Tri-Z I found a place that can restore the rim and strip the anodization dye off, and any scars along the edge of the rim, they TIG weld them or something and put it on a lathe to get it perfect. There site is www.carcone.com.
I found another place that can reanodize the rims http://www.qualityanodizing.ca/

This is what I was going to do, is there any other way, I'd imagine its going to be pricey though.

Well My front rim is perfect. I have a lead on a NOS front wheel and Hub
but its 340 bucks.... I'm sleepin on that one for a few days

I bought Kintores used stock tires and put them on mint OEM banshee wheels (have a rolled edge compared to OEM and you need banshee hubs but they have yamaha stamped right in them)

I have decent rear stock wheels with the H tracks that I decided to hold onto (no major damage just scuffs..... but enough to bug me.

I was going to put the bashee wheels on until NOS rear wheels turned up someday (and they will but some of these things take years to turn up) I may look into your refinishing information. Thanks

I'm going to check prices on that, the guys at Carcones are a little rude to talk to, but I will see if I can talk to the manager.

Damn, under all that dust was black paint? I looks as though it cleaned up nicely. I was a little nervous about it getting damaged during shipping.

Those roms looks damn fine.

Let me know if you find any more 8 or 9 inch Tri-Z rims in all your searching. I am on the hunt.
