New project pw80

[lloydie]

Just picked this up for my 7 year old lad .its a yamaha pw80 !!
It needs a little work and my son and I will be doing it together .

So far it needs a carb to airbox pipe and a oil pipe that's it :-)
But as I only have my lad on a Sunday this might take some time to finish :-(

What I sorry we lol plan to do to it is --
Powder coat frame swing arm and put some new stickers on it and some new boots .
And a recover the seat .

Lucky boy!! i would have given so much to have had a bike as a kid, had to wait till i got a job the b8stard

Nice one Lloydie, it's a good way to spend some quality time with your boy and pass on some of your skills and knowledge. I suppose you will keeping it Blue as you don't want to fast for him

(:-})

[lloydie]

Yep I thought a blue one would be just right for a 7 year olds first bike :-)
Having a good look at it 8-) it looks like someone has put a updated front end on it with a disc brake :-)
And I'm not to sure if its a py80 or a pw80 but both are really the same

That's one lucky kid you've got, rather jealous to be honest good luck and have fun with it

nice one Lloydie....lucky lad.

what does his mum say about this, or is that saved up for another time?

[lloydie]

Just got back out the garage as I had to have a look and found more things need doing :-)
Left hand engine case had a hole in it (easy fix as its plastic)
Rear shock past it . Throttle cable outer damaged .
All the parts are very cheep for this little bike :-)
And it's a good thing that I got it for free of a friend :-)

His mum is ok with it as she used to be a pillion on my bikes when we were together and she knows I will teach him right .
My friend has a large field not to far away so my lad can use it on that without worry from the police taking it off him . So that's a good thing :-)

Some body armour next Is it your turn to have for Crimbo this year? Tht will make it a real special Christmas to wake up to that. You will need a fair bit of wrapping paper. And how are going to explain Santa getting that down the chimney

Nice one Lloydie. I bought my eldest two a KX80 when they were 9 and 7. They both loved it (still do) and both went on to ride bigger and better things. My daughter now has a CBR600RR my son stopped at a 125, but loved bikes.

great stuff. Hopefully the lad takes to it, and as been mentioned be great for your relationship together. Get a pic of when he sees it
