Default Yamaha Big Wheel !!

After a year of tripping over bike parts i finally put my 1986 Yamaha "Big Wheel" back together. I got it for nothing , replaced the top end,coated the fenders and racks with spray on undercoating,new brakes,recovered the seat,ordered reproduction decals . I guess i have put in about $600 or so into it. I can't wait to use my second set of hunting Wheels this year.
Anyone else ever own one of these old relics?


Mrs Springer has tried taking it over already..

I believe Yamaha is making a larger tire bike again but not even half the size of these tires. My son races the CMRC circuit so i will putt around and use it as a pit bike as well.
