Good luck.
Apparently it’s difficult to find people to work on bikes. (And cars/houses)
Most people with experience on Elsinores would be even older than me!

It would appear you're right, 185 views on the post and only one reply!

I have ‘88 NX650 Dominator forks , front wheel , rear shock linkages , swingarm and a seized motor . I am located in NQ though , so freight cost might be an issue . The ‘88 NX 650 motor is probably a good choice for an adventure bike motor , as it has both electric start and a kickstarter .

Hi all, I got the wrong HPI ignition for my 77yz125, this 068k168 set fits about 79- 89 with the small crank taper and 110 backplate also fits yz 250 79- 89  or later,  But check HPI site.
$388 is what i paid with shipping, any offers considered.

I have seen a few of these conversions into XR frames.

The XR has Great chassis and the Domy motor has great cruising ability.

The Domy motor has a big stator so plenty of charge for battery and big lights.

That would be my direction.

The size was 17.5 mm . Still have the improvement fork springs to suit the 80/100  as long as stock lasts.

Thanks for that, I intend on actually finishing my mega 185 project when I retire  next year. Weight is critical so the stock 30mm toothpicks have to stay and im a bit over drilling and soldering .
