got the new upper tree in, it is supposedly from an rd200 but i have never seen an rd200 with adjustable upper trees.. i just had to make some shims for the upper tubes and it bolted right up..

Cockpit view looks nice, are you going to fab up a fork brace or is the original guard good?

cleaned the r5 front hub and have it ready to lace as soon as the spokes come in, i love that it is just as big as the motor on this thing..also finished and painted the rearsets and linkage, also finished the front fairing stay

I would assume from that last picture that this is going to be a full-faired bike, eh?

Are you going for a particular TA look with the body work or a generic racer?

the front fairing will be the same as the TA125 as well as suspension and brake set-up(r5 front hub), the tank is just as long but a little different, and the seat is more similar to the ones used on the honda cr110, i am going for something close but didn't want to do a full on replica of a TA. i am going to incorporate a headlight a tail light on this thing as well because i would like to make my neighbors more mad at me than they all ready are with what i currently start up in the morning to go to work.

Neighbours suck.
I racerized an RD200 back in the day, but it pales in comparison to the detail and quality of your work. Wish I a had photo but that was before cameras were invented

It's great to see such a quality build on a small(ish) two-stroke.
