My other XV920

[turbodog]

The tug for my Terraplane is a Yamaha XV920, made from spare parts acquired during my long-term XV920R project. That project is finally at the title/tags stage. I am currently tuning the EFI and taking a 2nd run at the seat cover:

Sweet ride there! I have a couple of XVs too, I would love to talk EFI with you.

Hi, thanks. Happy to share what I know.... and more!

Nice looking bike is that a Seca tank?

 

[turbodog]

Yes, an early '80s Seca 750 tank. I preferred the XV920 tank, but getting a fuel pump in there was beyond my budget and schedule restrictions. Choices for external fuel pumps is surprisingly limited. A few choices for ~ 50HP and under, and then a big gap up to 300HP, 7amp monsters. The Seca tank has an access plate just big enough to get the pump in. But, it made the seat design more complicated. Since these pics were taken, I've done a second seat cover... but it is still not up to acceptable quality standards.

Thought it was I'm an XJ guy and it looks good on that bike you have done some nice work. Good luck with the seat recover I have to tackle that on my bike when the weather warms.

Very nice - what paint did you use?

 

[turbodog]

Thanks. It is UreChem eyeKandy Wine Red 3 stage. Probably pretty close to the original XV920RH paint.
