That's it guys, I finally got to ride my bike last week end. It's a 2005 YZ125 that I bought as a playbike, I rebuilt it over the winter.

What I did:
New clutch cable
New MSR AOF clutch perch
New handlebar and Kevlar grips
New 08 front fender and number plate (held on with tie-wraps because the holes don't line up)
Replaced a few bearings here and there
Brand new Warp9 wheels
New One ind. complete seat
One ind. graphics (2006 Factory Yamaha bought for 80$ on ebay including seat cover and backgrounds)
De-rusted the PC pipe and re-polished
Re-polished R304 silencer
Revalved suspension, front and rear, by Stadium Technologies
Works Connection EZ Holeshot
Complete new front brake system, wheel axles and used OEM CDI (these parts got stolen over the winter, as well as the wheels, seat and other things)
Cleaned out all the parts that I didn't replace
There's probably more, I've done so much on it I can't remember everything

TGT handlebar and Sidewinder chain/sprockets combo should find their way on the bike soon, as well as a new clutch and top end. Maybe add a 144 kit later on.

I left the dent there. I don't think it hurts the power.

The sprocket was stolen with the wheel, unfortunately.

I was supposed to get Titanium-colored rims at first, but they sent me the black ones. They still look pretty cool with the polished hubs. Oh, and the rear rotor is their new wave design, you don't see it in the pictures but it looks really cool.

Looks sick, dude. Where did you get those factory graphics? I've been looking for a set, but they're from 2 years ago, so they're pretty hard to find. One stopped making them for two strokes.

Team Yamaha USA YZ 125-250 Race Graphics-Seatcover Kit - (eBay.ca item 150245934202 end time 20-May-08 14:43:27 EDT) (http://cgi.ebay.ca/Team-Yamaha-USA-YZ-125-250-Race-Graphics-Seatcover-Kit_W0QQitemZ150245934202QQihZ005QQcategoryZ35593Q QtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262)

Put Seismic Cycles in your favorite sellers. They buy all the overstock from One Industries and sell it on ebay. I've bought a lot of stuff from them, including this kit and my One complete seat (which I believe they don't make anymore).

Seriously dude? That kit is $80.64 in US dollars, that's unbelievably cheap. The kit in the picture looks different than yours, though. Will I get the same ones you have if I buy from this link?

Thanks!

You're right. The ones on his bike and in the top photo of the auction page are the proper Factory ones that Yamaha ran.The others lower in the auction are different and look like proper aftermarket ones rather than the YZ stock-style.

I bought mine from the same auction last fall. You should get the same kit I have on my bike.
