Hi, I am building a YZ100 and have the it175 swing arm upgrade for it. I have been told you can use YZ250 forks, hubs, and triple clamp for the 100 build to give it a way better suspension. Would the swing arm for the it175 still be compatible if I did that?

I used the aluminum it swinger along with 1979 250 38mm forks and triples Other years would work as well, all bolt-in with no problems. I wouldn't go with 43's. More weight on the front-end. another tip is don't go overboard on front suspension travel. You don't want it to handle like a chopper. Keep the travel conservative and it will corner best.

Hey thanks, I appreciate it! Do you mind if I ask what hubs you used?

With the 38mm, I went with standard YZ conical hub along with the DLS front brake setup. Worked great!!

I’ve got nothing helpful to add, other than I had an absolute blast riding one of those things back in the early 90s. So light and flickable.. 15 hours and the top end was toast, $60 and it was like new again!

I went with IT175 forks, they are 10" travel like the stock yz100.
