Thanks to InstantTractionDeluxe.Blogspot.com for this 1977 Yamaha IT400 modified to resemble a prototype YZ


Write-up from InstantTractionDeluxe.Blogspot.com

Very cool.  Thanks for the photos.

Back in the 80's I did this to a 1977 IT400. My dad says the IT400 was a heavy
bike that wasn't good on tight trails because of the weight. He bought a brand new one and didn't think much about it. I thought it should look like an early pre YZ factory works bike from 1973.
I never did get a 1974 YZ tank for it like I was planning to finish the illusion.









Trying something new

With Motorcycle Shows, races, and other gatherings cancelling daily my stock of original photos is starting to dry up. 

So.... if you have some pics of a your bike, a buddies bike, a family members bike, etc. send it to oldmotodude@gmail.com and I'll post it with credit to you. 

Anything goes, racer, custom, classic, weird.  Give me some history about your connection to the bike and I'll include that as well.

Think of it as a virtual bike meet.

Please don't include people in the pick.  It's all about the motorcycles.

Thanks
