My fav Yam Mainline (along with the YZ250G) ;) I had a YZ125C/MX175C many moons ago and so did my mate John (Dunny) except his had the PP headlight and matching rear guard tail light combo. It also had the Vesco fat skinny tank and I can still see the original alloy tank sitting on the shelf under his house..I should double check but no doubt it's all but memories :( My other mate the Baker had a fully sorted Wayne McAlweigh (sp) modded to the eyeballs MX125 :o The Chainsaw we called it as it reved to what seemed about 20000rpm but went nowhere any quicker than anything else..least we could hear him coming behind :D another mate at the time Rob (Clarkey) had a 70's style metalic brown and white '75 MX125B that was fully road registered. Yours is looking nice..great memories 8)

I reckon the Kawasaki forks where dodgy...whoever got them might be in for a surprise...everything he listed was bike model specific except for those 2 sets of forks...I reckon the forks themselves are roadrace items, the 36mm forks are very short, tripples look KX/SR...the 38mm forks  are short for 38's and dont have knurrling where the tripples go, the tripples look too "modern" and they have a disc brake mount on them...I think thats why they went cheap especially compared to the OW forks....the OW front wheel and brakes price blew me away though....I hope he puts more stuff up...do you know who he is?...the KX/SR tank went cheap...especially compared to holly equip's replica's...I wonder if they bought that tank?
