Project I can't leave things alone!
-
@gareth_iowc No Facebook??? Dude your missing out. There are some wheel builders on ebay too.
-
@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 Took 6 months for the wheel builder to build my brothers YZ wheels!!!
-
Jesus 6 months! He's going to have them ready by end of next week
-
@gareth_iowc Nice big knobs - LOL
-
Yeah not sure what it's going to be like on road in the wet haha.
-
@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.
-
@gareth_iowc Looks factory fitted, nice job dude!!!
-
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
-
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

@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

@scrimsmustang Sometimes it's just a question of funds, or more importantly lack of.

@calum Yes it but i think u can get a decent YZ125 for the same as a DTR these days Cal, mind you I guess its fun modifying them and having it how you want it. YZ front end with DTR shock will stiff front rubbish soft as rear end a stiffer DTX rear shock would be better and easy to fit no mods. 18 inch WR250/450 etc enduro rear excel rim would offer a better tyre choice rather than a 19 YZ motox rim also WR250/450 front wheel has a cable speedo drive unlike the YZ not a criticism just would be the same but easier.
