What's the definition of A Works part?

You guys are all way too funny and Newmann, you might just be on to something with the "I need to get out of the basement"…but I'm having so much fun down here creating parts with my mad scientist cloak on…and to go with that Works pipe I put my mad scientist cloak on and fused together some alloy, carbon fiber and titanum bolts to for a silencer... and does look and act like a works silencer…you bet it does…now, let me see what else I can come up with wearing this cloak :+)

Let me look Tydog up as i would love to see his latest creation…I'm always shopping for new ideas...

Mx836,

I think most people like to stick to the "period parts" in every way so thanks for your comment. I too can and have built "period" correct bikes and no how to do it with exacting results, but with this build I took an idea from a street bike I built when I took a 1985 Yamaha RZ500 V4 2 stroke that weighed 437lbs and through the use of modern Yamaha R6 & Kawasaki ZX636 suspension, carbon fiber, cutting, tintanum & alloy I was able to reduce the weight to around 320lbs. I next had a motor built that went from 78hp to 121hp. (I got the bug to make an older bike lighter and handle like a modern bike). Back in 1990 I was riding a 89 KX125 & 1990 KX250, but remember the 1990 RM125 well and always thought Suzuki had the right bike, but that something was missing. So all these years later I watched Guy Cooper ride for the first time at MX Rewind 2012 and I was impressed and started thinking about this build. I knew I wanted to make a trubite and not a replica (I did not want to be held "period" correct parts), however I wanted the bike to still look like Guy's bike for the most part. I did four things to this bike outside the "period", I put the 280mm front brake on it, built the motor to 144cc, put a Showa Factory Connection fork and I lowered the seat height by 1" to improve turning because this bike and the 1990 KX125 seemed like they were on stilts and yet the Suzuki had the best frame geometry at that time (they could turn on a dime), so image if you lowered the suspension an inch…yeah a bike that turns on rails. The remainder of the parts or parts of similar quality or build were available at the time. I have more photos in another form "1990 RM125 Guy Cooper tribute" of this bike and thanks again for your comments.
