Just received the 14" chrome rim from Partzilla. Fantastic quality rim and would be perfect for the rebuild.. but has D.I.D. Made In Indonesia stamped on the side. The YZ rims were Takasago and made in japan and had it stamped on the top near the nipples. Both my YZ80's have original rims, so its off to the chrome platers at great expense..
DG had a lot of hop up parts for these bikes back in the day. Rocketfrog has an E with some great DG parts and i hope this brochure give inspiration for a build..
Ive just about got all my parts now. Nearly everything except plastics. Still a lot of straightening, cleaning, cutting, heating, grinding, molding, sanding, blasting, powdercoating, zinc coating, 2k painting etc.. to go but i am on track. Should be a year or so and hopefully have an E i can sit back and look at and remember when i was 13...
Cheers,
