I agree to a point. The brake lines are not a priority, but if I find a set of originals, I’m going to buy them. To a collector, it likely has value.

It’s been a productive week for finding R7 parts.

Dude... that's huge. Think you can find someone to fab up the rest?
The airbox as a case, is complete. I’m waiting to hear back on the fuel lines, apparently a lot of the 5FL R7 specific parts for the EFI, were used in later model Yamaha motorcycles… same part, just a different part number. The rubber base gaskets may be the biggest issue.
SICK!
There are places that custom cut gaskets... can you take a scan or measurements and send them off for a custom gasket?
Once I get the airbox in my possession and can place it on the bike, I’ll be able to see how thick they need to be. It’s more like a rubber boot type gasket, it’s part #11 on the diagram.

The airbox deal has been in motion for a week or so, today was when it finally was in my possession. It’s the last of the major parts I need. While I still need many small parts to finish this project, at least what’s left can easily be custom made at this point.
Yesss!
Hard to believe it’s been a year having this bike. It’s been a great project for sure, and hopefully will soon be complete.
I’m waiting on the final parts needed, most are currently in South Africa. I’m trading a couple of spare parts I have, for what I need to complete the bike. The guy in South Africa has 2 R7’s and a bunch of spares.
The bike stayed warm in our sunroom all winter under a cover, but did let some daylight hit it from time to time.
