They are just like the AT Enduros...  some are magneto/6v and some are generator/starter/12v.

The white YG1TK (at least that's what I think it is but missing skid plate) looks like a 6v magneto bike to me?

Now looking for a complete foot peg assembly ( end to end ) and a seat.
I sent Brenda at Bike Boneyard an email this morning.
Hopeful they may have one or both the parts, but still looking.

Bike update : we found the coil not even hooked up and flippy-flopping inside the frame. No Good.
Un did the coil bracket from the frame and went out and bought some screws and spacers which T-Bone and Super Dave machined down the spacers to make it work and looks bitchen. It Does !! and grounds the coil to the bike.
Hooked it back on up... Got spark. Weak and intermediate , but spark none the less. 
Points have a chunk out of the contacts so I will order the new ones today along with the condenser. 
The bike all and all is in real good shape, good compression, shifts , and after I get some small stuff from Partzilla and Clauss Studios, should be good to GO !!

Oh Sorry...the YG1T bike. Not the L5T .
The L5T is kinda a mess and will need a bunch of work.
So it sits for now.

Those YG1's are amazing...  hard to kill them.  

I might have the pegs someplace...  have to look.  On my MG1 some tried to install the folding YG1 pegs and bar and I think i swapped it back to original.

I also have a NOS YG1S dual seat.  Bolts on in place of the T single seat and rack.  Have to see if I have a single seat...  not sure.
