@Darty would model year on the yz throttle matter?

@Mightyman . Nice one lad

I need to get mine sent of to mick!!!!! We're off to see the wizard!

@Calum me personally just once, but if every one of the users have had the same issue than surely that counts.

Would be handy especially with password resets?

@andrewj1680 When posting if your on a android mobile, scroll the tool bar to the left and you will see the upload to cloud icon I didn't see it either

@CYBER-NINJA yeah man wheels will stay black for sure . and now you have mentioned HONDA CR thoughts of a CR tank and rad aare Overloading my mind lol im guessing the only issues would be mounting points???...

and as far as panels go they will be a shade of blue but as of yet iv still not choosen THE ONE that stands out for me .....

@CYBER-NINJA as regards to polished goodies though i do have a few bits to go on i intend to have completely polished engine cases and so i will definitely need to look into a product for protection cheers buddy it means a lot.

@CYBER-NINJA said in TDR125 4GW:

@tdr125greg Sure looks sweet there bud, I love the polished ali look myself and would keep it all that way! Not sure if you said it before but are you going for the SM look or not? That bike with high mudguards would look unique and much like a CRF me thinks.

@CYBER-NINJA yeah man Polisport SM line fender and a front mask headlight. as much as would like to have my frame all polished and dam bro iv thought so many times about polishing it i always come back to how schweeet and how much less maintenance it would be to have the chassis powder coated in a graphite/slate grey

OMG IS THAT A ROLLING CHASSIS BRO???

Not quite!!!!but it does give an idea to how she will sit, I'm so happy with how things are planning out so far on this project for now though
I'm still looking for a tidy wr200 rear swinger and a nice piggy back gas shock (which one I'm still undecided on).

Enjoy

@Zrako The yz steering stem is longer than the stem on my chosen forks therefore I do not need/have the space to consider the upper bearing cup.

My tdr frame does differe to the frame Of the Dt.

Your best bet for information regarding the bearing cup method can be found on the forum thanks to @Calum

That's your Bible near when it comes to a yz fork swap on a Dt even @gareth_iowc references Calum's method for his project

I put alot of research into finding a suitable front end as there was alot of options.
Firstly I was going to use yz forks as the bottom half of the stem was 30mm in diameter but soon realised thanks to you guys I would need a cup made up, that itself wouldn't be a major issue but then the process of having to properly shorten them (deltaboxframe angles) and then progressive springs and revalving.....

To me that seemed like a right ole Ballache and so started looking at factory sm 125's that came with Usds following the format of having a 17mm wheel spindle, 3.0/3.5 front wheel width and stem diameter length in relative to my standard OEM steerer. This lead to me riejue and aprilia forks then luckily enough a set of aprilia Marzocchi's came up on fleabay and I just couldn't say no to them for a measley 55GBP posted!!!

The aprilia MX standard used 25/52 top and bottom

My tdr takes 25/43 top and a 30/55 bottom

@Calum what's your thoughts on a 25/43 top and 25/52 bottom with maybe a sleeve welded into the bottom of the frames headstock to seat it all tightly??.. Or..... A 28/55 on bottom with maybe one of these.

the cafe stunter lol ,

I could I guess but that would mean extending the aprilia's steering stem as it's very identical in length to my standard steerer length???

Thanks fellas

Keep posted and I will log my process I think I may go down the route of having a custom steering stem made up but this may change during the course of time.

I guess I could use my stem pressed in to the MX bottom yoke but my tdr stem is welded in so the welds would have to be turned out on a lathe I assume? then the standard heat her up and press it out?
Will this process have dramatic effects on the strength of the TDR steering stem?

Hi guys I was wondering if I was to do a fatbar conversion with some adapters like the RFX or apico ones would i also have to change my throttle tube too? Or does the grip part stay the same in diameter.

Cheers
