As some of you may know we were building a YB4 to race in the Isle of Man classic TT. Well we've had some delays and its not going to be ready for this year. Problem is the TT organisers have gotten hold of of a set of Virginio Ferrari's fairings and wanted to use our bike with the Ferrari fairings in the parade lap to be ridden by Neil Hodgson. If anybody has a YB4 or 6 or 8 or even 10 that would like there bike to take the place of ours next week please PM me.

Just out of interest, where did you get a bike from? I've seen a blurred picture of the parade lap bike.

My mate London Pete emailed to say he was supplying his YB6 or 8. I can't remember what he has. I email and see if they used his.

Hi Motokosta you can get a photo bucket account for free and upload your photos to it then copy the image code and copy and paste that in your post.
Good luck Wink

I've found these on the interweb!

What are the brake callipers and disc off? I believe it's a YB6 but I've been told they called it a YB9?

The brakes are ISR the bike is a YB6 I don't know why James Witham called it a YB9 nor why Neil agreed. We had the Ferrari bike but it hasn't run for 25 years so were intending to just use the fairings but the mounting holes were different so we tried to represent it as best we could.
