    @Calum Thanks bud, I'd like to do more of them! Now I'm no longer interested in riding it opens up the possibility of approaching bike builds dispassionately as engineering projects and I have a few ideas.

    RD and DT LC are the same block, but gear ratios differ. RD has a close ratio gearbox and DT has a wide ratio. Close ratio is not ideal if you want to go offroad IMO. Primary drive with clutch and 'middle shaft' length differs in the the LC engines I compared. Definitely get a LC YPVS engine if you go that route, -more usable power than without power valve. I have a DT LC YPVS close to stock, I reshaped the head and installed a Zeeltronic and put in 0,3mm carbon reed petals, the rest is stock. Goes well and has really good midrange torque for a 125. I think the DTR and TZR engines are the same block too, but there is probably the same gear ratio difference, and possibly more I have not tried dropping in a DTR engine in a LC frame (have only one DTR engine and many LC's), but have thought about it. Let us know if you try it!

    @Stevie-Wonder Thanks bud Greta (for that is her name as she's noisy, irritating, aimed squarely at the youth market and responsible for thousands of them bunking off school all over the world) cost me half as much as my '93 due to the mileage and had a thick layer of grime all over due to years of grinding commuting. I gave her a scrub with Jizer (several times) and this is what was underneath Here are the part #s for the toolbox and lid, bit pricey IMO and you'd have to get the lugs welded on to a non-e start frame. Be a nice touch if you were getting it powdercoated sometime though https://www.cmsnl.com/products/boxtool_55v2817301/ https://www.cmsnl.com/products/lid_55v2818500/

    @Steady-Eddy I would love a C90, they're starting to become a collectible themselves. You got any photos of the C90? Yeah, it always sucks parting with vehicles.

    @Mightyman same here. The number states the temperature "level" of the plug. The colder - higher number. Im heard the colder spark is better ...

    So to confirm, if we could hold off on the hall of fame idea for now. When I do release it, it will be some new functionality where it will be linked directly to your profile on a new home page where it won't just be members who can see it. I will keep you updated.

    Any things can be done if your willing to spend the money. I haven't done that but I have a yz125 engine in a dtr frame. I needed to sort top and front brackets.
