So I’ve never posted or commented on here but figured it’s winter and I got time now I’ll share my build bought the bike for next to nothing mainly because it was an 07 but it was hammered


,

What a turnaround! Looks really beaten up and like Ronnie Mac had ‘customised’ it! ?

Going to look amazing once it’s done!

Heading basically the same thought I had, it was rode hard and put back wet for sure lol

Good for you man, nice save! Those white hubs are gonna pop!

Holy hell that poor thing. Good work man, Shame it got beat to shit at one point.

Care to share any info on the fork caps? I need to replace the OEM caps on my 05, and I’ve seen those on ebay.

SLOWTIME I just seen the message they are just fox stage 2 billet clickers that look good and are way easier to adjust your forks also has a fill and vent screws for easier filling of fork oil I found them on eBay one day but I believe fox still sells them they run about 200-220$ from Fox

Carbon engine mounts!

This is looking spot on so far

Thank you for the response!

Incredible turn around! What rear brake pedal/setup is that? I see Hammerhead... but for what bike?

Ebers it’s a 2015 RMZ brake pedal with the RM250 brake clevis the RMZ clevis wouldn’t work

Wow, I am super jealous, and this makes me miss my 07 RM250 more than anything! Does Tusk now make hubs for the RM? when I was building mine a few years ago they did not and I had to find a set of stockers and PC. Cant wait to see the finished build!

Looking great so far! Tell me you did the "Ronnie Mac" customization yourself as a joke....

No the front is a 08 yz250 wheel with the spacers trimmed a little, the rear is a 06 KX250F wheel that we had to get bearing sleeves to make work so it didn’t have slop in it, it’s fits perfectly with the wheel spacers in the swingarm but 08 yz250 rear wheel has same axle diameter but haven’t tested it out

Not to much longer got my gas tank in today and waiting on a couple small motor stuff

You know how people tell you they "rescued" a dog from the pound? I feel like you did that for a beautiful motorcycle.

Got the new shock spring installed and shock cleaned up, the aluminum tank and shrouds fitted, and the light speed carbon skid plate installed today

No comments on the cut front zuki fender???????
Bike looks good and thanks for the brake pedal info and the clockers are cool as well ... I wish you would have kept the stock tank/shrouds but that aluminum tank is tits!!

Looking good man, great save!

Appreciate it man!

Started to mock up the body panels and everything to make sure it fit correctly and no bends or tweaks in the subframe.

Beautiful.. this is the 125 ive been building over the last year or so.. similar in a few ways to yours ha! just out of curiosity how much did the aluminum tank fight you?? The shrouds weren’t a huge problem but the tank itself mounted to the frame like shit and I had to play with the seat quite a bit too. Great build so far, love it.

I’ve been watching your build on IG a lot actually really cool the tank bolted to the frame fairly easy had to move the rubber frame cushions up on the bottom and down on the top a little bit so it would sit correctly and had to raise the seat mount on the tank up a couple threads so I’m going to run a little longer screw and place a shim it up with a washer! That should fix the small issues

As hammered as the bike was when you got it, it still came with carbon fiber engine hangars???
