seal spring clips for all the 38-43 kyb models
I just purchased a kit on ebay for 23.00 with free
shipping, and installed it on a set of 43mm forks
All the same for 43 from 81-86 plus kyb
Will not be anywhere close to the one here but I'm just stoked because I have all three sizes now. 81-125cc, 81-250cc, 80-465cc.
I will line them up at the races and get to feel like those rich kids did back in the day!

+1 Rob is without a doubt one of the best machinists I have seen in our hobby. No crazy powder coatings, no bling... Just great engineering, well-executed. "God is in the details," as a famous architect once said. Steve D is up there also.
So Rob, have we pumped your head up to the size of a balloon yet?
In socialist quebec you need an off road plate to even trailer the thing.
Any untitled bike can be seized and impounded here.
Ah the joys of french québec and big government.
For the CR I will have to get creative to put a plate on it.
Rob Boucher is a pro machinist, being in the trade myself I can see his attention to detail and
knowledge in materials and their heat treatment. You on the Practical Machinist Forum Rob ?
I'm going to look the aforementioned bike over tomorrow evening and may very well end up purchasing it.
I'd prefer to run air cooled bikes and would think this would be an easy mod while benefiting from
the H's rolling chassis upgrades. Getting rid of the high CG rad and piping I could put a big 43mm front end
on it. The swingarm is longer already compared to the G so it would balance out.
So now I end up with an '80 CR125R and an '80-'81 YZ125H !
So much for simplification, but I just love the yellow and the good memories I had as a kid :
How can I check it?
I remanufactured the steering stem, by sleeving the seal area's with a bronze sleeves.
See above post's
Thanks

That is actually a 1979 "F" model.
thanks

complete fuel tank and side panel, airbox mount bushings
exhaust hangers, both billet, and die stamped aluminum mounts
with injection molded rubber inserts, and drilled shoulder bushings
really nice stuff,
Also ti bolts and 17-4 stainless very small hand made numbers enough for
my bikes , maybe a few for sale
and that is it
My question was on steering stem disassembly as well as deleting the water cooling.
I'm going IT175 air cooled after all on the H
That and what type titanium you are using and if there is any heat treatment involved ?
I have zero experience with the stuff. I'll be looking into dry film coating as well, another
area that is unknown to me. Do you have any recommendations and baking
procedures for as well ?
I'll need to pick yours brains on the 17-4 stainless as well. What would you recommend
for hollow wheel axles ?
My field is tool and die, machinery repair is done in house for our own needs so I
don't have as much exposure to it as you do. I would send you link to me shop but I can't PM you..
Sorry to be asking so much, I have a lot to learn in a short amount of time.
Want to make a couple meets or races summer '15

But i would make sure the 81 H base gasket matches whatever IT cylinder base gasket
The 1980 YZ125 engine was the base for the IT 175/200, and YZ100's after 81
but the 81 YZ 125 was different, left case, waterpump, centerport
Before you build a time consuming Frankenbike, you should build a nice 81 125 H
great bikes, parts and faster than a it175
easy to have ready for next season
In 81 when Magoo purchased his own bikes, he chose the 81 YZ125, and he did not have
and DNF bike problem with the YZ
mid season he was given RM's
And Bob hanah's bike OW40 had 38mm forks
If you have any of your hand made parts for sale I would be interested (1980 YZ125)
Let me know.

Getting a better handle on this now. Thanks Rob, all good points.
