Yamaha LS3 "The One Hundred"

chambers · May 1, 2013

Hey stevearama thanks for the help! I think i'm ok for part numbers etc at the moment but you never know

... I'm happy to offer some advice where I can mate. Do you have a build thread? Don't sweat about thread jacking mate ;D What seems to be the problem?

Feel free to send me a PM if you'd rather....

Here's one more shot of that cr80 (85?) which shows the exhaust route a bit better...

where did you buy those bars? also, noticed your QLD ergo, I live on the Gold Coast, you?

chambers · May 10, 2013

Hey, The bars are off a cheap bicycle actually :

! Picked them up at the in-organic curb side collection last year... They will require a bit of modification if I want to use them in the final product.

I'm in Logan at the moment (unfortunatly ;D)

It's been a while since an update again :

Kids work and no money make for a dangerous gauntlet!

Anyway I made a seat base from a bit of scrap aluminium and bought a "camping mattress" to cut up for the padding, Add some glue and taa-daa its a seat, It's really light which I'm happy with cos this little bike is gonna need all the help she can get

Obviously it still needs to be covered...

I'm thinking of doing a diamond style pattern on the cover at this point.

I also made a Headlight bracket, Pretty standard stuff attaches to the horn bolts and has been bolted through the top and bottom of the bucket, You can adjust the angle by adjusting the top bolt in and out.
I'll try to get some better pics of it soon it's not completely finished yet needs to be tidied up etc.

more soon... HOpefully

Hey I like what you've done with your LS3, given me a few ideas for mine which I have been procrastinating over what to do with it.

thanks guys! Still going for sure, I've got a new job doing FIFO work so I'm only home one week out of 5!

Seriously slows progress unfortunately

I'll update with some new pics in a week or so when I'm home again.

devilishdesigner · Jan 5, 2014

Coming along quite well

chambers · Jan 5, 2014

So I've done a little bit since the last pics, But as I said I got a new job which leaves me with even less time than before

But it pays much better so cant complain too much

anyway iv'e done a fair bit of port work on the cylinder, Got some new indicators air filter, kick starter and a few other bits and bobs...
Here's how she's sitting at the mo

Getting there!

Tuning the carbie might be a bit difficult with that filter; strokers tend to have trouble with them.

chambers · Jan 6, 2014

Yeah i read that about these filters somewhere. Do you know of a better filter to use that's good looking? I dont really like the the look of the all foam uni-filter type units but if that's all that'll work I probably go that route in the end.

stroker crazy · Jan 6, 2014

Can highly recommend these guys:

They make filters that fit just about everything. If you find their product list a bit confusing, just phone them, they are very helpful.

You would be looking at one of their 300 Series units.

chambers · Jan 6, 2014

WOW, Thanks crazy they look awesome!

chambers · Jan 22, 2014

Sooo... I kinda need some opinions on my paint colours..
I'm colour blind so I always second guess myself. I showed my wife after I had done the first side with the bronze pinstripe and she said she'd "have to think about it"

which is never a good thing!

Anyway what I'd like is opinions on whether or not the bronze colour works as a pinstripe OR whether another colour would be better.
(and what that colour might be).
The masking is not straight between the silver and black so the pinstripe is there to even it out.

The other colour I was thinking that might work was a light green (but as i said Im colour blind

)

Thanks in advance.

mmaurin · Jan 24, 2014

little late to the party but interested...

i think the bronze can work if your seat leather is the same or similar shade... which shouldnt be too hard with your wifes help...
random accents usually dont imho
it also matches your springs but im sure you didnt mean to do that...

i really like the bars/speedo area... super clean!

chambers · Jan 24, 2014

Thanks for the reply man! I have since removed the bronze stripe. I thought I could of done a few other highlights here and there but as a rule of thumb if i'm not fully convinced I usually change it. :-\
