Shackled minds - spare time Yamaha build

Enough of the serious stuff already.

It is Sunday so you deserve a day off the news and views.
Lovely sunny day too.
This is a Yamaha from 1978 that I have been restoring for 2 - yes 2 years.
I have had some of my bikes (restorations) featured in motorcycle magazines over the years. I will find the articles if anyone wants to see them, one day, possibly.
Practical sports bikes in the UK (magazine) wanted to come over and do a review of my bike collection; although I declined, I did not feel like handing the keys over to some of my motorbikes - watching them thrash them and them making money from it whilst I have to pick up the bill.

Of course they would be getting a free holiday out of it too, abroad, nice gig if you can get it.
So what did I do to the bike?

This particular model came from France so had pedals (that did not work) but due to stupid regulations it had them, now it does not.

I swapped the rear swing arm which left me with no footrests, so I made some to fit from a Honda xl500 (modified) so now it has some.
The exhaust is a one off and the red stay bar is from a handlebar from an off road motorcross bike, the stay bar or brace from the middle of them.

The rear suspension is also from a different bike and new.
Handlebars are one off aluminum and a unique design especially for this bike.
The seat unit is also a 1 off and home made from fiberglass.

The front fender/mudguard is off a later version of this bike.
The back mudguard came from a bike named Fantic motors as I remember.

I tuned the engine and considering the age and the fact it is air cooled, it does 65 mph which for a 50cc moped I consider more than adequate.
I tend to re-use things, hence why it is a bitsa this, bitsa that.
I will have this one finished this spring and possibly (definitely maybe) send the photos of it to some magazines.
