Probably a part of the LTR mods - you can see (what appears to be) a second upper shock mount where the side plates have been cut.

Looks like a DT head.
Weird that the rear guard/airbox have been replaced.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

$1131.00 Farrrk, recession? what recession. 14 bidders, he must have other doner bikes cause you aint gonna make one out of that pile of shite. Makes for one expensive resto. Is this what is gonna happen in the future?

I thought that $1300 was pretty exxy, but not outrageously so. My own level of interest ran out when it hit $600, but I've already got one....

Wheels are easy enough to get (and even easier to make one out of monoshock DT bits, if its not a showroom resto), and rear inner guard/airbox combos are fairly easy to find (same as MX125).
The frame could easily be fixed with freebie DT parts. (If the winning bidder wants a donor DT frame, then send me a PM).

The rest of it is standard-issue resto stuff.

The sun must have been shining. Hey nathan I'm with you, Ive got 1 1/2 of those suckers and i pulled out before 600. the guy didnt even talk it up. How much you would have to spend to get it half going is a real unknown quantity.

probably work out OK with a few bits and pieces, like a frame, but cheap path to an early YZ if you are keen.
