It's a great monday!!!!!
Finally this weekend I got my s*it together and finised off the DP Gravel Racer to make some space in the workshop for yet another project (70's Santee rigid frame with CB 750 motor) alongside the quickly evolving LTO Project....
As I have mentioned before I have 5 of these 1983 Yamaha YZ 125 in various stages of deterioration, one is beeing restored 100point US style with yellow plastic but that's a long way from beeing finished, this is some leftover parts done up so I can terrorize all the nice little dirt roads around Mosta Hill this summer. It all started out with a frame relieved of all non essential brackets and mounts, a Fox rear shock rebuilt and shortened 5cm along with a rebuilt fork all done by Pontus at Öhlins, the tank, radiator wings and side covers were painted gloss black (by PellePlast) and I fitted UFO Supermoto front fenders front and rear?
The seat was covered in synthetic suede by Johan CB Ström and the motor was rebuilt with Prox pistion, Barnett clutch and all bearings, seals and gaskets replaced, all done by Hot Rods by Max. The frame, wheels & motor was painted by myself in Hamerrite black. Tires are Thai Vee Rubber a FMF Shorty exhaust and Street Fighter by Access taper bars was fitted along with every bolt & nut is replaced with hew stainless stuff....
DP says: I really like the way it turned out......
