I jumped into Twinshock Trials a while back on a TY175...
havn't done enough of it for a while but its a hoot!
ride all day on the one bike,
low maintenance,
stop and talk with your mates,
but I am crap at it...
will get out there again this year on a TY250D {which is a pig!}
good fun!

would like to try classic road Racing also...

the stock exhaust has a "massive" restrictor in the "fat" part of the expansion chamber. if you're keen? grind the expansion chamber apart along the seams, look for the "spot weld"  marks on the chamber as the restrictor is spot welded in obviously, so now with said restrictor removed, weld the chamber back together and your pipe is now a "goodie" that looks stock... and yeah, 32mm carby from a YZ/IT, open up the airbox, machine a bit of weight from the flywheel etc

MX250/360 & SC500 tanks are the same except for obvious decals/paint
the MX100/125/175 tanks are the same size as each other but smaller than the big bike tanks...
you can fit a small MX tank onto the big bike with a bit of a fiddle...
cheers!

the first one looks like it is off a YZ80D - not a 125?

YZ100
which is the same tank as the 125C/X...

im sure that "Yass" charactor will know more but i'd reckon YZ125D,E,F IT175D,E,F and some of the early monoshock DT125/175's would also be the same...

Over 4K and its not even race ready or an authentic garage queen...
