I picked up this neglected R5 earlier this week for $1500. It's titled, but hasn't run in a while. It came with some TD3 body work (tank, tail, and front fender) and also included a 4LS GT750 front wheel and brake lever.
Naturally, this calls for a TR3 race replica build. For now, this thread will be mostly a place holder. I have to finish up my T500 build before I get to this one, but I figured I'd at least post up the plans and grab some opinions. I'm not overly familiar with the Yamaha two strokes, so I'll be learning as I go.
Current plan:
*Pick up a fairing to complete the body kit
*Shifter is currently bent, replace that and get news seals onto the engine
*New tires and tubes
*Probably a set of new carbs - VM30s?
*Figure out an oil tank
*Electronic ignition?
*All new wiring and street legal light requirements
*Clip-ons and rear sets
*I have a set of early model GSXR right-side-up forks and triples. I'm going to see if those will fit.
