Got this 1972 Yamaha R5 from a friend for $1500. Titled and ran before going into storage. Comes with most of the 'glass for a TD3 replica, a Buffalo/Kettle front wheel, and some chambers. Definitely going to do with a road race replica on this build (as soon as I finish up the T500). Aside from needing the usual stuff, the shifter shaft is bent. Came with a replacement, though.

That’s right there is a steal of a deal
 
race replicas ftw. Nice get Matt. We can be twins.

As in: Collect a bunch of parts, mock it up for a photo shoot and let it sit untouched for several years.

Picked this guy you for 850 bucks!
The controller worked but sometimes didn't turn on so I just gutted it and replaced all the electronics with modern stuff. Fun project, a lot of sitting and using a multimeter to figure out what wire does what.

Now she's up and running and operational.

God I love Craigslist.

ignore the wreck of shop

Epic score for $850. I'm currently building a second controller while using the original one that I built. Version 2 is going to be leagues better, but I feel your pain.
 
Give dynomotion a look.
Between the kflop and the kanalog that was literally all I needed for a retrofit. Took less than a weekend and it's a really robust controller and fairly intuitive.

These guys make a pretty stellar retro for not a ton of coin. Basically a bolt on and go, outside of tuning everything in once it's up and running.

That is a hell of a deal for $850. I paid $5K for my Bridgeport with a bad AccuRite system on it, then retrofitted it.
