Thanks only problem is I don't have Facebook lol.

Might try a local bike shop as I've been told it's quite involved with getting it right.

[NINJA]

@gareth_iowc No Facebook??? Dude your missing out. There are some wheel builders on ebay too.

[Calum]

@gareth_iowc Yeah wheel building is a dark art, so I am told.

[gareth_iowc]

Haven't posted in a while but things are still slowly moving .

The wheel has been with the builder for a week now so hoping to have it back soon.

Ordered the wrong front yz calliper doh!! So sending that back and ordering another. They calliper carry is wider on a 98 then the 97. My forks are 98 .

The yz exhaust has arrived as well but I forgot to take a photo. It doesn't quite fit might need a little bit of heat and some bending to make it work but it's not to far off.

@gareth_iowc Took 6 months for the wheel builder to build my brothers YZ wheels!!!

[gareth_iowc]

Jesus 6 months! He's going to have them ready by end of next week

[NINJA]

@gareth_iowc Nice big knobs - LOL

[gareth_iowc]

Yeah not sure what it's going to be like on road in the wet haha.

[NINJA]

@gareth_iowc Just avoid any bends dude!!!

[gareth_iowc]

It's back!!! The wheel is finally back!!

So this is a 19" yz excel rim on a dt125r hub.

Fits nice even with the wheel pushed althe way towards the engine there's still clearance.

@gareth_iowc Looks factory fitted, nice job dude!!!

[gareth_iowc]

So the project isn't dead I've just been extremely busy with work.

Finally found a twin rad setup that works - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252198042402

The bike is currently at the machine shop getting the engine brackets and radiator brackets made up.

And this arrived today

[Calum]

Yes mate that is awesome.

Wicked find on those radiators too!

Even though my project is done, a set of ally radiators will be bought to help with the heat dissapation!

Top job.

[gareth_iowc]

I was very happy with them when they arrived. Just needed to get some brackets made to fit nicely.

[gareth_iowc]

So this turned up today

[gareth_iowc]

Hi all,

So.....

The project isn't dead but I still don't have it back from the machine shop. It's only been 4 months for a couple of brackets I'm going to get a bit pissed with the guy soon!!

But these came today


Hmm getting an error uploading photos...

[gareth_iowc]

 

Error request entity to large

[Calum]

@gareth_iowc I can only accept images of a certain size since I only have a limited bandwidth.

Either resize the images, or upload it directly yourself to Imgur. And embed

@calum

I love all these projects but fitting a lighting coil stator and lights then road registering an actual YZ125 would be easier ?
