it's a bitsa.
537 is yz125c
1g8 is yz125x
but the swingarm and forks look to be from the later 'D" model.
still all pre~78

just looking at the front hub, it looks to be more from the YZ100 range, so possibly the swingarm/forks could also be later model 77? YZ100 items.
i reckon it'd be a nice little project and the tank alone is hot property.
good score...
