A bit of a fettle (ongoing)

Hi all, dont know if anyones interested but thought it was about time i bunged some pics up of my XTX & the clean up so far. Bought it just before Christmas, bog standard grey & although it looks ok in the "before" picture close up it was a bit rough around the edges but the price, year & mileage were ok.
The decals had been removed by a previous owner so there were light & dark patches on the air scoops & a few rub marks here & there, cig burn on the seat, the all too familiar Yamaha poor prep & paint on engine casings & swingarm, seized rear brake, (cheers Pleiades) a few other bits & bobs plus it looked like it had never seen a sponge.



Fettled, primed, painted & lacqured using the Carplan YAV089, not a brilliant match so had to do most of the lower engine.







Got the panels back from painters & he's done a lovely job, not on bike yet as there are still things to clean up & sort when i get the time.



Got my stage 1 & 2 DNA filters waiting in the garage & no doubt i'll be needing the Kev mod. More pics soon. Cheers, D.

Nice work!

I love the yellow and black/white speed block paint scheme - reminds me of an RD400 I had back in the day. In fact, it's always been floating in the back of mind, that one day, when I get bored enough with black and run out of things to amuse myself in the shed, the Ten might just get similar treatment...

You make it sound like I seized your rear brake!

Great job on the engine case painting!!!

Can't wait to see the whole picture when it's completed.
