"converted/built 40 years ago. Search 1970 Yamaha HS-1. One off. Dual expansion chambers. Loud, fun, pricey. 5 speed manual on 5" wheels. New clutch. See it run on YouTube, "Yamaha 90cc twin " or copy and paste Thomasautobody.
in one picture, the smaller handlebars it came with it. I had to put the ape hangers on cuz my knees hit. I have the original air cleaners also"

What riot! :o

Note location of battery between forks and what appears to be the start switch perched right in front of the seat - interesting to say the least. Add to that the "leg warmer" exhausts. It should come with a clown outfit. :lol:

Of course - I've built worse things . . . :oops:

Probably fun to tool around on. :thumbup: I wonder how long the boots on the front tubes will last with such little throw on the shocks.
