Hubie's 3YF finished!

Post by Hubie »

G'day all,
I posted a while ago after picking up a cheap 1995 3YF to restore. After a fair bit of work (mostly cosmetic) it's all done. The list was mostly cosmetic but here it is:

Full service including plug and all fluids, new brake pads, new fork seals, new speedo drive, replaced screen with taller touring screen, new mirrors. Cosmetically, everything needed repair other than the nose. The front guard was broken so I sourced a second hand one, the tank, side covers and main fairings were extensively damaged and were all repaired and repainted. I'm pretty happy with the result as it's only the second paint job I've done myself. It goes in for RWC this week!

Cheers,
Hubie.

Nice looking job on the paint. Is the seat an upgrade?

Looks good and standard, I’v put a mid height screen on mine (93 model) it looks weird when I put the shortie back on for the summer!

Get out and ride!

Cheers

Nice!
Just a detail, but is t this rather a 4MY?
If I remember correctly, the 3YF (single headlight) was replaced by the 4MY (double headlight) from 95.
