    Yeah fits but needs a few modifications. Needs custom head to frame brackets and the front engine brackets.

    The decider was the fitment between the swingarm and that fits no modifications 😃

      So the yz rear wheel turn up today 😄

      It's 19 inch rather than the stock 18 inch dt wheel.

      Looks like it's going to work great only thing I've noticed so far is the yz spindle is larger than the dt.
      The calliper carry will need a little adjustment to make the new spindle fit.

          Got the new bolt for the dog bone to mount it to the frame from fowlers 🙂

          Just waiting for the rear axle spindle to turn up so I can get the rear wheel fitted 🙂

            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?

                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.

                      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.

                                  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 🙂

                                        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.

                                        Always Originate, Never Pirate!

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