Found this a bit south of Jay Gleason's Plant City FL hometown. Gonna try the electrolysis method of rust removal. Pipes are intact, no dents, no rust-through perforations. There's a Jet Hot Coatings business 5 minutes from where I work. I'm partial to silver.

And, that's not all. :hmmm:

Do ya think this is worth anything? (attachment #2)

You picked yourself up a nice piece of memorabilia FM, if it were mine I might even put it in a frame!
I am glad I got the signed Jay "Pee Wee" Gleason poster when I did.

Gosh, I have to confess, I don't have that signed airbox Y! But I do have the Kerker 4 into 1.

I saw the signed airbox Y and just took a picture of it.

I still think someplace like the Barber Motorcycle Museum should have Jay's leathers and that bike in a display where everyone can enjoy it. After all the bike was built to honor American muscle car fascination, and a motorcycle designed in the style of them, brute horsepower and lots of attitude.

The Barber Motorcycle Museum would be the perfect place for it. They have a 85 on display but this one has special meaning.

This is probally an old question, but what ever happend to the origional Max Jay set the records on?.............:confused2:............Tom.

I suppose it's in Yamaha's archives, maybe it made its way back to Japan?

Pee Wee's "birthday" Vmax is on Ebay, the bid was at $13,000.00 when I saw it a couple days ago. Info was from Kyle's Max Motorvation Page on Facebook.
