I picked up a 1971 JT1 Yahama Mini Enduro friday. Its complete but it has been sitting for 30 years in a garage. Would this be ok for the build off? It is a complete bike all together not in pieces. Not sure if I am going to disassemble it to clean it up or do it a different way. The main thing it is a complete bike not pices and far from running cond. If it doesent fit in this build off no Prob. I still need to do it. Lets hear a vote on this?

I dont know how to do the doubble quote thing so I just copy and pasted the first quote.
The bike has been sitting for how many years? I am not really sure. it was bought I think new for his daughter in 71. if so she would used it till 75 my guess. I haven even looked it over yet. I think it might have the oem tires on it. the fork seals are leaking I think. I want to be real careful on wrenching on this bike. I dont think it has been wrenched on yet. I really didnt look it over yet. The gas cap was almost impossable to come off, even with a strap wrench broke it loose and the gasket ripped all to hell. I feared the tank was trash but looked clean I will have to check with a flashlight maybe tomorrow. no dents or damage anywhere. Believe it or not I have my hands full with this one. If it never been wrenched on I dont want dissamble and wrench mark anything.

2. No bike allowed unless it's less than half finished! You can start gathering parts and materials now, but assembly and fabrication not allowed until January 1st, 2012.
Do you think the bike is half finished? Not even started. I can disassemble a mini bike and reassemble, done. Or clean this bike throughly replace all the bad parts check the oil injection, piston rings, carb. rebuild, replace fork seals and prob. alot more. Unknown till I start.
And sorry it dosent have 4" wheels mac but I could install some training wheels for ya.
