hopefully there will be a show you can put it in, its looking really good.

I put a Aluminum rear sprocket on my 360, not recommended for longevity, less unsprung weight along with the aluminum wheels.

Thanks Mark

Does the alum sprocket make the bike more throttle responsive?

The rims are a bit beat up, but overall its looking good. She went to ROLLER STATUS today! The USPS is holding my handle bars hostage the last few weeks.

Maybe On paper, you’ll never notice it. Steel lasts a lot longer.

Nice job pabdt.
Regarding your mud guard.
Try filler designed for plastic instead of filler for auto steel or fiberglass . They aren't flexible enough .
Silver Hook make one here in the UK. It's designed for plastic fenders.
Spray with barrier coat, white primer and then acrylic paint.
Or keep your eyes skinned for a mudguard .

Front fender is the same as first three or four years of the YZ125

DC Plastics makes a decent replica that you have to drill and even though they can be ordered in silver you'll probably want to paint it.
