1975 Yamaha Moto-Bike

How's everyone doing? I'm new to the site. Anyway I picked up this beauty from my boss/friend. I had seen it sitting in the yard at the shop never thought anything of it. I didn't even know what it was. Well one day my friend was going to toss it and i couldn't see it get trashed so i brought it home. I'm just now starting to tinker with it. Still trying to find parts and info on it. I just thought i would share. I will take a few more pics later if anyone is interested.

thanks guys. this site is full of some awesome bikes many great ideas and some great builders. And yes it does have a rear drum brake oldschoolcolo. Does anyone know how to take this bad boy apart? when i hit the brake it tends to stick a bit i just want to get everything working properly.

Thanks man I have some plans for this thing nothing to major, just strip the red off and try to bring back the OG orange that's under the paint. However it looks like a previous owner did some fab work on the rear where the rear fender would go. They shortened the bar, so i need to make a new one or just add to the exsisting one.

very nice score. I would just cut the rear section off and sleeve an extension section in there to bring it back to original length.

No idea on how to take that rear hub apart. My brother had a coaster brake version when I was really young. Heavy bike, but fun.
