Dutch Navigator Posted October 9, 2021 Author #27 Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) Episode 5 of our renovation video-series: https://youtu.be/BMC0wVqWmFQ We got some quotes about re-chroming the parts of the Yamaha. Prices varies between $1500 and $2500. That's a lot of money..... We're looking at some other options. Have a safe weekend! Peter Edited October 9, 2021 by Dutch Navigator 3

Peter After all the work you put into it, would you want to look back and say: we should have!! Don't cheap out now, go the distance!! Of course it depends on whether you plan to keep it or sell it. Sometimes heritage gets in the way. 1
BlueSky Posted October 9, 2021 #29 Posted October 9, 2021 You might want to reconsider using Sintered brake pads for the rear. The RSV rear brakes tend to be on the too powerful side stock. Increasing the rear braking could be making the bike more dangerous to ride. 1
Dutch Navigator Posted October 9, 2021 Author #30 Posted October 9, 2021 We want to keep the bike. We got it for free so investing some money is fine. Thanks for the tip about the rear brakes. 2
Dutch Navigator Posted October 13, 2021 Author #31 Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) Ordered some parts today on Ebay. Lots of spares for these bikes in the USA. Shipment is about $120 to the Netherlands. Parts are still half the price compared to the prices in Europe. Edited October 13, 2021 by Dutch Navigator 2
Marcarl Posted October 14, 2021 #32 Posted October 14, 2021 Lets hope that they are as pretty as they look. 1

Dutch Navigator Posted October 21, 2021 Author #38 Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) A package arrived from the USA today (thumbs up for the guys from Pinwall!!): Tomorrow, the fenders will get a couple of coats of primer: We use MIPA 2K primer for the metal parts.

Nice work on the scooter, bet you looking forward to it being all done and able to ride. I would have practiced on the wheel barrow 1st to hone my skills. But you did a great job just the same. Looking forward to seeing pics of the finished bike. 1

Dutch Navigator Posted December 31, 2021 Author #48 Posted December 31, 2021 Things slowed down a little bit this winter, but the story continues. New Dunlop 404 tyre arrived (from Spain) and the second one is on it's way. The blue stuff is protecting the white color and can be removed with warm water. All the Tupperware parts are sanded and will primer painted next week. 3
Marcarl Posted December 31, 2021 #49 Posted December 31, 2021 It's been a while, but good to see progress. 1
