Yamaha YZF-R1 2007

After something of a struggle, and many external interruptions, I have at last finished the latest Yamaha motorcycle. Is there anyone else out there building it and encountering problems? My main difficulty was with the wheel spokes, which just wouldn't fit until I redrew them from scratch.

More photos and a blow-by-blow account of the construction at http://www.grayer.eclipse.co.uk/Moto...YZF-R1%202007/

Interesting issue with the wheels. Looks great. I tried my hand at the red YZR but I had it printed on the wrong media. The card stock was laminated and things were near to impossible to assemble so I shelved it. To make matters worse ... I paid to have it printed twice on the same stock. lol.

Thanks for the build pics.

Fantastic! I have been trying to build up the nerve to start one of these. Yours looks great. I wonder what caused the tolerance problem. I have run into this on models and wonder if is the wrong paper size or just errors.
