Project I can't leave things alone!
-
Doh!! So the yz spindle is a lot shorter than the dt. So the next thing to try will be to see if I can take the dt wheel hub and fit it in the yz wheel with the yz spokes.
Thoughts?
@gareth_iowc This dude runs a wheel rebuilding service and has a good rep;

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

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 Just avoid any bends dude!!!

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.

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

I was very happy with them when they arrived. Just needed to get some brackets made to fit nicely.
-
So this turned up today
-

@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
