most of our gyros. 3 of them were at the shop getting worked on. and yes that is a yellow gyro. even the seat is yellow. thats how we bought it. and i f you can tell. that is chevyguyjay's completely restored gyro. AWESOME. the gyro girl is dedicated to 66six if you are seeing this. the very first gyro is mine which i am restoring. make sure to check out my 1985 honda gyro restoration in the scooter builds section where you can see more pictures of that gyro.

Your yellow one is a re-do .The real yellow ones were called roadfox and had red hand grips (very cool )
and red parking brake handle different front fender a lot cooler than gyro S they also had black handle bars instead of chrome also some weird crash bars on the frame in front above the pegs. And also some hand holds behind the seat and the front rims are very different also the small turn signals and on the red one the lower mufflercover is red . * here's a pic.
Don't get me wrong your yellow looks way cool and a while back I was talking to Gyro Dan and he was considering painting one of his bikes yellow .
Again yours looks great well done but not a roadfox .
But you probably already know that .

Wow I must talk to you ...I have the Gyro UP which ??? I think is the same bike w/o the canopy .
I have so many questions for you ... I have been really flying blind with this bike a bud went to Japan a few weeks ago and I knew it would be a waste of time to ask him to bring back a shop manual as I don't read or understand Japanese also when I got the bike sight unseen the seller did a bunch of weird stuff to it eg. removed the oil pump (I have to use pre-mix )
I will send you a PM with my ph#
That is a drag not being able to post photos ... I would love to see your Canopy .
I am so glad you posted here .... Did I mention I have a lot of questions for you ???
Talk to you soon ....

Gyromaniac asked :
if you have an engine cover with the stickers. could you get the width and height of both stickers for me? that would help so much. i am making some more of the gyro labels. thanks
I take a lot of the stickers off my bikes ,The one I am working on now I am thinking putting a really big VIP on the side , but make it look like cheap tape and a thin font. (I'm not joking )
Anyway gyro maniac this is what I found on the wall that I put the stickers that I take off bikes .
I hope it helps but I really doubt it .Hey I tried ...
Oh some like the helmet holder are still available from Honda for like $3 or 4 bucks plus $500.00 shipping or something like that .
I got some of Gyro Dans (the Godfather he did a lot of the plastic work on your bike /Good guy ) decals and used a few and put some on Tazz's bike

Finally - a member to give 66Six a run for Gyro's - and it's an East/West rivalry
Like them pics
What do you folks think - would you like a separate Gyro pics thread?

I think an official Gyro picture post is a great idea, as long as its just pictures of bikes and not pics of the rebuild process
