1978 dt125 parts found was created by loner
In the process of cleaning and organizing my shop after 2 year battle with cancer. I found a 1978 DT125 jug, head and new piston w/new rings. I will check everything and post on market here.I believe that it has already been professional bored by one of my friends, possibly 1.5mm over. anyone wanting pics PM me and I will send to your cell. Had to stop for a while as the temperature is over 100 degrees plus in the shop. UPDATE:The jug has been bored to 57.50mm (1.5 mm over stock) the piston and rings are mfg. by TOKO, out of Japan.

Hey how are you dong health wise these days? I am one month out of my 6 hour colon cancer surgery and fortunately right now cancer free and getting back into life. It's tough but as I did a lot of sport before I was in pretty good physical shape, I think it helped, food discipline and toilet emergencies are hard!

Still fogging a mirror. Doing well. 3 months past chemo. 20 cycles of maximum dosage of radiation and now on immuno-therapy, 3rd cycle coming up. Hair growing back, taste kind of coming back. weight around what my exit from bootcamp weight was (in '78). Wife says lucky, daughters say stubborn and son says tough old bastard. ENT doctor at VA on Monday will check PET scan and see when may can do surgery.
Thank you for your concern. I hope you continue to improve with no recurrence.

Loner, you are doing incredibly well. It's brutal in every way. Laughing about life helps me a lot and I just enjoy listening to others talk about their 'problems' and chuckle quietly to myself

Right you are. Looking back on previous ailments that now seem trivial. Hoping you continue to do well.
