Hey guys, here is my yz125 that I'm doing a frame up on.
Basically I wanted a 125 that looked good, one that I could keep for a while and ride when it suits. I'm also planning on finding a 08 250 and pretty much doing the same thing.
Here's a couple photos from the build so far:
Motor on the bench, it got a new crank, main bearings, gaskets, seals, piston and ring.
What I'm working with at the moment, a pile of parts.
Frame after the coaters. I got it done "Ace Black" which is a middle ground between flat and Matt. I'm hoping this will help the more blinged out parts stand out more.
Here are the hubs, turned down and coated. This colour is a copper metallic.
Wheels laced. Stock rims, excel stainless spokes.

Box of parts from BTO. Fmf fatty and shorty for the pipe and silencer. The spokes for the wheel set. Renthal kevlar grips. VForce 3 reed valve. Galifer steel braided front brake line.
And the frame how it sits now.
Next on the agenda is sending the triple clamps in to be coated the same colour as the hubs, and the suspension to be serviced.
More photos to come.

The Shop
Ready for the powder coaters tonight, casting marks removed
Triple clamps back from powder coaters. That's the last of the parts that need coating so from here on in it's finding time to work on it and waiting for parts!
Good beer though
Footpegs got installed
Here are a few "before photos" for you guys
This is one of the power valve cover fasteners, too stretched to go back in. Someone over tightened these.
These are the chain tension bolts, the bolt head/threads look good (once they're cleaned up) but the nuts are too rounded off to go back on so they'll need replacing.
That's all for now!
First round of sanding done on the linkage
Pit Row
Got the tank looking a little better, still need to clean some grime off it though, any suggestions?
Also cable tied some stuff up, builds going real slow at the moment while I Aquire more money, but I'm pushing on and doing as much as I can without spending much
Just a little more polish. I feel the parts you bring back to life are more important on these builds than the ones you buy.
