| Thanks. Fun hobby. Here's my YZ490. I got three of them for $800. All in bad shape. I built one and sold off the rest of the parts to recoup the cost. When I picked them up Last summer first race. Bike is insanely fast! | |

| Sweet to see a old bike lol. Back when i raced mx, I used to love when they had the bomber races. My buddy has an 1987 RM80, it has a cracked frame, missing plastics, broke down engine. So he uses it for donor parts | |

| Here's my latest build. It's not a restoration, but a race build. I picked it up for a couple hundred. See the hole in the gas tank? That's a .22 cal. bullet hole. Yeah, that's how bad the previous owner was!!!! 1979 Yamaha YZ125 As purchased... And after my race build. It needed every single bearing replaced, brakes, clutch, new flywheel, rotor, CDI and ignition coil, cables, levers, grips, silencer... and the list goes on. Also was missing the airbox and air filter, plus a bunch of little things were wrong with it. I still need to do the suspension over, but I'm having too much fun with my tractor! | |

| I built this bike for my gf about 2 years ago. We got a KX80 with a blown motor for cheap, so I sold the motor and related parts. I had an XR100 motor on the shelf so I built it to 132cc with some porting and a cam. The motor did not want to fit. It required heavy mods to the frame and gas tank to fit the taller motor. I made a plastic welder so I could cut the bottom of the tank off and make a plate for it since it hung too low. Stock Tank Welded modded tank Plastic weld Custom intake manifold etc... | |
