| 1972 Yamaha CS5 |

|
 |
| This is a 1972 CS5 which is in reasonable condition. I know it should be purple, and the seat looks as though it has been eaten by something, but it's a good addition to the collection. |

 |
| I've now got a seat for this bike and have managed to find some stock coloured side covers and the tank emblems. The bike is on the long term list, so I don't expect progress for a while. |
| 2nd September "03 I've spent the last week working on the bike. The following photo's show some of the fun I have had. The clutch side cover was removed to show parts missing from the kick start shaft and a rather mucky looking clutch. These have both been replaced and the cover refitted. I am in the process of replacing the oil tank, headlight bowl and brackets with original coloured parts, purple. The generator has been removed for refurbishment. At the shop where I work, we have a parts CS5, so I'm hoping to recover some items to get the electrical system working again. |

| A recent photo (August '03) showing stock sidecover and tank emblem fitted. |
 |
| The lower part is what I pulled from the motor. The top part is what was fitted. |
 |
| Front wheel removed, I'm fitting stock coloured headlight bowl and brackets. The oil tank has also been fitted. |
 |
 |
| This is the mess I found under the left hand side cover! |
