cool eh... cant get the yb 3 photo to display but the link works fine. I am putting the yb3 paint job onto the tt1 bodywork onto the db2 project. So its an exhaust change, etc. but I am using all the original brackets so can change it back to standard db2 at any time.

Just been looking for that little 400/4 with the Bim bodywork on. It was posted a while back but can't find it now.
That was a cracking retro looking bike similar to your plans Wink

well, it wont be exactly the same but I am going to get very close to the first ELF yb3 gp bike. The others have a bit to many yamaha overtones and if I go down the ducati tt1 route it will look too much like a ducati instead of Bimota. Fingers crossed the bodywork arrives before i head off again.
