Title: YZ125E DG REP
Post by: Rookie#1 on January 12, 2013, 10:55:13 pm
Hey, just thought id throw up some pics of my recently finished (well kinda  :-\ ) lil dg rep. I bought a complete bike that forum member Davey Crocket put me on to and was kindly delivered by Popeye all the way from Brisvegas. All I've pretty much done is tart it up in my chosen style, i know its missing the all important  ::) swing arm but i just can't find one at the minute! :'( Hope ya like, cheers. Brendan

Well looks like you missed out there Rookie! The swing arm you were after was on eBay about six weeks ago.

nah mate its still sitting in my shed exactly where it was before! It will be up for sale again asap now as ive found something i need to bring in from america.. DG YZ related  ;D

Its off an IT 175 not sure on the model? So not sure if it would fit the G model, i seem to recall it being from an E or F.

But i do also have the correct YZ D - E swingarm your after, and if we can find someone who can copy it im happy to donate it for use in being copied. I looked into it before but working 3 jobs doesnt leave me much spare time and the local guy i was talking to could not get the correct profile aliminium.

Theres a seller on on called 'allyfab1'
http://myworld.ebay.com/allyfab1&ssPageName=STRK:MEFSX:SELLERID&_trksid=p3984.m1543.l2533

I recken he could copy it, he has made copies of DG swingarms before and had them for sale on ebay, aswell as other DG copied aliminium items.

I'd be half keen on IT style one if we could come to an arrangement  ;) pm me if you've got a figure in mind :) Pretty sure it won't fit g/h, but hey who knows, I started my 125e with just the head so I've got a habbit of building a bike around 1 part! :D
