hey all, new member here in sydney australia.
i have just bought this old yamaha YB100.
from what i can work out, its a 1970 model.
My plans are to restore it to original condition. can anyone give me any info on it, or steer me in the right direction for parts?
here she is.
here is a link to my 1974 TY 250 i restored.....im hoping the Yb will come out even better than this one...

spent the last few days striping the bike in preparation for the resto.
just waiting for the sand blaster to reopen for the year so i can get the frame done, and the chromer to reopen, so i can get all the chrome parts dechromed, so i can file finish and repair the dents in them.
striping down.
Engine off the bike. will be geting new rings, and every new gasket available......
some new parts ive bought so far.
New seat, not genuine, but dam good. 50 bucks, is cheaper than geting my one retrimed, and its also all rusted out underneath...im very happy with this seat...test fitted here...
and a new blinker switch....im looking for the left side at the moment...i also scored a new battery tie in strap for it, genuine yamaha, and have new clutch and choke cable on the way.....
will post some more pics ina few weeks, once the frame is sand blasted and painted, and a little progress is hapening....

My front headlight and blinker mounts were bent, from a crash the bike must have had early in its life.
So i drilled out the spot welds, unpicked them and straightened them up before welding them back on.

Nice work...loved the play by play on the TY.
Did you break the edges on the cylinder ports when you get them back from boring?
I couldn't tell in the picture.
looking forward to seeing your progress.

Not broke...I mean a small chamfer.
when you get the cylinders back from boring it is best to scrap or take a die grinder and put a small chamfer around all the ports and transfers.
It saves your rings from getting beat up or caught on the sharp edge.
