After welding my crankcase and my frame on this wrecked Yamaha R1 4C8, today I want to start the engine! ✌️
And I want to button up a lot of small things all around the bike to finally push on that start button…
Small things like installing the exhaust line with the Yoshimura mufflers, putting the rear sets on, swapping the front brake line, opening the gas tank lock without keys and sand/paint said tank…
But is it going to pay off?
To know I need to start working! 🔩

Hi I'm Tristan!
I live in New York and when I'm not working on my fitness clothing line (yoked.net) I DIY with intensity 😅
For now, I restore wrecked motorcycles. So I disassemble, weld, machine and fix those bikes so they can go back on the road!
