Thumbs up for period correct numbers!
Thanks, that's kind of a pet peeve of mine. I remember hand cutting backgrounds for my YZ80 when I was a kid, and I don't remember too many friends who had precuts/preprints in 92/93. If I'm going through the trouble to find period correct parts, might as well make it legit! BTW, do you still have that 94 KX125 I pointed you to a few years ago? I still think about that quite a bit, it was a sweet find for sure!

If anyone sees a good condition or NOS airbox, please let me know. The one I got turned out to have some damage that wasn't visible when I bought it.

Looks great! On the rear wheel, did you stick with the 18 or bump to the 19? It’s hard to tell from the angle. This is my internal debate on what to do with my 92! I love the look of the stock 93, and you are definitely hitting the mark with this!

I stayed 18. It certainly did take some internal debate to get there though! At the end I really think it looks a lot more legit, and I'm not out turning moto after moto for the MXoN on this.

I started off aiming for about an 80% stock bike, but then became slightly obsessed, and it's going to end up about 95% OEM. Pretty much everything but the handlebars ( I really just couldn't deal with the stockers), tires, seat cover, a bit of plastic and chain will end up as original or NOS OEM. All fasteners are OEM. Some of the plastic is going to be stored and the UFO stuff on the bike will be what's ridden.

The handlebars were really the only thing I specifically altered. I may get some stockers just to have with the bike so it can be 100% if need be.
