Damn that's exactly what I planned to do with my SR400 before I sold it {pause for general guffawing}. It is beautiful but what the hell is 'Yard built'?

Yes exactly. I think yard built is a term Yamaha have coined to describe some of their models, in which they have involved some custom bike builders/designers to have an input. They are aiming to use the whole custom/cafe racer ethos to market their bikes. That is my understanding of it  :-\
