I was thinking the same. Gonna get the blue on. Ill get some more pix up this week. Went with Bike Graphix for a full custom kit. They really came out great. Great company to work with here in the midwest.

Thanks smez, that's what I was going for. Working on organizing some fundraising with the bike now. I've had a handful of local pros volunteer to race the bike in 250A, and donate their winnings to support local breast cancer research. I've reached out to a few video guys here in the Midwest in attempt to document it. Fingers crossed..

Unfortunately giving money to cancer research is a waste. We are no more further than 20 years ago with research. But to each his own.

Thanks smez, your 125 build is still the best i have yet to see. (Kind of my motivation to build my own) I wish I could of gotten my hands on one of those aluminum tanks. They look amazing. Got it all together and discovered a pretty significant coolant leak in the water pump drain hole. New seals and gaskets are here, got it all back together and it's holding so far.. So the next pics should be the completed bike.. Smiling ear to ear in anticipation. It's been a long 8 months..

Yeah it's a great feeling when it all come's together.i'm still buying part's for mine believe it or not.just bought a carbon tank and I'm bidding for a vhm head on fleabay ATM.looks like I'll need to save my penny's,and do another build in the future,as I'm accumulating part's without having a third bike to put them on.

Do you know much about the human genome and what subsequent mutations lead to which cancers? It was my major in college. Every cancer, even the same type of cancer in different individuals arise from different mutations which makes it extremely difficult to treat. The some cancers are associated with specific mutations and stay pretty linear without more additional variations, and those are the cases where these is good treatment and diagnosis. Some unfortunately do not. For example there are multiple types of breast cancers with variations in mutations type like stated above.

It's not a waste of money. It's like literally starting from scratch each new project addressing a certain type of cancer, so there is still a ton of progress to be made.

That's a great bike you have there. Every little inch of attention for the cancer awareness is great!

Thanks everyone for the support. After I get it broken in I'll get some videos up. The bike sounds amazing. And smells even better.

I'm interested to hear how it runs with the FMF Fatty and Rad-valve combo and what jetting you end up with.

I spoke too soon, after finally test riding the bike, I've discovered quite the let down.. It only shifts up to 4th gear, no 5th or 6th. I've read it could possibly be a shifter fork.. Anyone have any thing similar to this? I sent the motor complete to gorr, and received it that way. Put it in, fired it up and had just been letting it idle to heat cycle it.. Had planned on taking it to the track this weekend for the 1st ride.. Looks like that's a no go Sad

I bet it's the shift stopper bearing.this is a very common problem on the 05-06 yz125 and yamaha fixed the problem in 2007.good news is it should be a cheap and easy job to fix it,all you need to do is fit the 07 and up part,you may have to split the case's to clean it out if the bearing has exploded though.the best thing to do is go into the yamaha two stroke section on thumpertalk and key in "replace your shift stopper!" In the search this topic box on the right hand side of the page.i'd have copied and pasted the link for you but i'm not sure how to do it on my i-pad and i'm on holiday in florida atm.Smile
Good luck!

You do not need to split the cases. Clutch basket needs to come off to access the stopper, but engine can remain in the frame.

Millertime603- the blue pink certainly stands out. Nice work.
