Project SMX [Pic Heavy]

@NINJA I would love to say, yes V-Force FTW it will make 100 more horsepower...but I just can't see it.
I bought it cause it was a brand, and I always wanted one. They are factory fitted to the YZ's, KTM's and a lot of other Race bikes. But I simply cannot see how it can really make that much difference.
Maybe better over stock, but over another aftermarket one designed for performance. I can't see it. I think the one I got was for the 140 kit too.

@Calum I heard really good things about the v-force on the yz 125 apparently the throttle response was insane
@declan Italkit specialises in parts for smallbore 2stroke engines, mostly Italian brands like Aprilia, Cagiva and Gilera. Although they are a Spanish company, most of their parts are made at the Gilardoni foundry in Italy. I don't think that they make any parts for Yammy's, but they do make parts for Husky's and KTM's, as they sponsor their MX teams. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
SEDUCED BY THE DARK SIDE!!!

A couple more parts upgraded, I modified the original speedo bracket to fit the new Koso digital display;
And carbon wrapped the bracket for that custom look and then I mounted that bad boy;
Next is to sort the wiring out and then she'll be good_to_go.
I've also sanded out all of the casting flaws and polished up the stock brake pedal, for that bit of extra bling;
And finally I fitted the Storm Hand guards I had on my DTR. As the new Protaper bars are fat bars I had to buy some larger brackets, as the old one's were too small to go around the Contour bars. Another bargain from China courtesy of good ole ebay;

Polishing has come up really well!
Bikes looking good.
How far do you think you're off completion?
@Calum The polishing is tedious and does take a lot of time, but looks amazing when it's done. I'm some way yet off finishing her, money will slow me down as I have a few expensive bit's to buy like a new exhaust front pipe, ali rads, graphics kit and the wheels need refurbing too. There probably the most expensive parts I still require, plus some silly bits n' bobs on top of those. Oh and a new rear mudguard which are like gold-dust in black, the only one I've found thus far is in Finland and the dude wants 105 euros for it, which may be a bullet I have to bite unless I can find another one?
So hopefully I am probably looking at April time before she is finished, just in time for spring and summer blasting!!!
