    Need to get a set for my bike, does anyone have some good pictures of options and any sources? I have the usual eBay etc. searches saved. Just curious what else is out there.

    If anyone has a nice set for sale, please PM me.

    Thanks!

    Harbor freight sells a decent tube bender. Used MIG welders are pretty affordable. Plating can cost a bit though.

    I got mine from Dave too... I'm seeing a trend here... Maybe he DOES have all the parts.

    Now I need a good sissy bar. I wonder who I should talk to. Hmmm...

    650/750 will interchange. The 700 style will not interchange with the 650/750

    Between Dave and Chacal, we could probably build some NOS bikes.

    You wouldn't do that... then everybody would know where the bones are buried. Kinda like how the the Ancient Egyptians built catacombs beneath the great pyramids to hide their treasure for the afterlife. I can see it now... Thousands of years from now, they'll find your stash. Only instead of a big red X on the map, there will be a YICS logo.

    And scientists will swear YICS stands for everything but Yamaha Induction Control System. Ha!
