Start with a MotoSeat ribbed seat cover, V-Force reed block, and order an FMF Factory Fatty pipe,shorty silencer to go with those FMF stickers...

Yeah i've found a pretty good looking motoseat that I will probably get. Eventually will get rid of those FMF stickers as the bike came with a brand new pc system

everything here is going to be expensive since american dollar is high. See how you go but I don't think BTO will be that cheap. Probably best going to a bike shop and asking if they can help you with the price. If you ask for even 10%, thats still saving $200 off a $2000 build. I would have to say that the biggest money saver with these builds, is buying a bike at a good price and doing the work your self. That will save more money than any type of discount. Final tip, salvage and clean what you can

Basically get rid of the tacky anodised blue stuff & the chrome pipe...it's not a Harley!
I'd order a standard Yamaha fuel cap & vent hose, get shot of the blue footpegs and rear brake lever and tire bolt/rim lock.

Then, V force reed valve, Galfer oversize front brake kit, suspension set-up & sprung.

I've found the Pro Taper Profile clutch perch assy. works well with the YZ 125 and is a nice lever shape.

Chuck a fresh top end & clutch in it and go from there...

ASVs are levers that fold out so they're less likely to break in a crash

I agree with most of what you say, but why get rid of a Hammerhead brake pedal? They are tough and work good.

One observation and one question. Comment too.

Observation: Previous owner bothered to update to 2015 airbox etc., but didn't change the front fender. Perhaps he likes the old style better. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion. To each his own.

Question: What are those footpegs? The more I look at the picture, the less I'm sure of what I'm seeing. Can you provide a close-up?

Comment: Good score! You're going to have so much fun riding that bike. I love mine. The bone-stock suspension - once I had it resprung for my weight - is so forgiving. You can just pound stuff and come out of it feeling like an expert.

I know GYTR is selling it, but they almost always vend out their exhaust. Back in the day, White Brothers did the four stroke exhausts and recently FMF has been doing both. This looks like and FMF, but the can appears to be Ti with a welded on bracket which is not the way FMF normally does it.

In answer to your observation he didn't change it but I will probably change that very soon as i like the new look. The footpegs are Full Perch and I am thinking I will change them soon to some normal oversized footpegs. Thanks! the bike is super fun to ride and the suspension is great!

Spend whatever you would on bling/aftermarket bits on lessons, by far the best value for money. That bike stock will be wayyyyyyy faster than 99% of us can go. Boring, but that's my opinion. Who cares if the plastics are tatty and the stickers are worn through when you go sailing past effortlessly !

Looks sharp! My only suggestion would be to put some fresher graphics on there and then go rip it!
