Adventure TW200
Rear view:
This is my 87 Yamaha TW200. I've gone with an olive drab paint scheme, tossed the gauges and the mini fairing/headlight setup (it was all busted), and replaced it with a chopper headlight and a small speedo. Bars replaced with Daytona bend black bars. Signals replaced with mini aluminum units that are small enough not to get banged up in a crash, and beefy enough to survive it if they do. (All parts the PO had bent, trashed, or mangled).
To top it off, I welded up some brackets and mounted two 20mm ammo cans to the bike.
It's not fast (top speed of 70mph... 65 with the saddle bags, due to wind resistance and weight), but it's great for trails, especially with that 180/80/14 rear knobby. Only problem is I need a beefier rear shock when the bike is loaded with gear (The steel cans and brackets empty weigh about 50 lbs)
What do you think?
Charles.
