Dank je. De originele kettingbeschermer was inderdaad helemaal kapot en viel uiteen. Ik heb een nieuwe besteld bij CMS. Duur ding voor zover ik me nog herinner.
Thank you for your great video series about this bike. Right now I'm restoring the same bike and I wonder where you got those brake hoses. Did you order them from Yamaha or elsewhere? (Where?) Do you consider making a video about repairing the side panels and other plastic parts? Keep on making these great videos 😉
Hi, thanks for your comment. Those are the original brake hoses. All I did was clean them and painted the couplings black gloss using 2K paint. I don't know if it will last long. I don't have much video recordings of the body panels repair. I will check if I have enough to make a video. Maybe a a sort of slideshow with the pictures I have. The bike is almost finished. I hope to get it finished soon and release the last part.
Two questions. I see lots of powder coating nice! Did you use any special powder coating for the engine? At least some of the 80's yamaha had their paint go away after a few years. Bolts can't help but notice they look new? Did you buy new ones or ?
I did not do any powder coating. Everything was painted using 2K paint. I know powder coating is more durable, but I try to keep the budget low that's why I opted to paint. I think it should at least be as good as it was from the factory or even better with today's paint. I replated most of the bolts and bolts. Apart from some regular M6 bolts and nuts. And some original Yamaha ones that are cheap.
Mooi werk!
Mag ik horen waar jij de ketting beschermer op de achterbrug vandaan heb? De meeste zijn oud en vallen uiteen.

Hi. Would you share the sizes and brands of tires you used? Thank you! Amazing looking FZ.
Sure. Both Bridgestone. BT45F 120/80-16 front and BT016R 150/70-18 at rear. Thanks for the comment.
