This was a YT175. I always thought it was weird that the YT125 and 175 models were so long with the motor all the way in the back. I realize that Honda had some kind of patent on motor placement and that is why they are the way they are.
I have had this pipe dream ever since I got this machine, and after picking up a set of Zinger plastics over the weekend - I decided it was time. Only took about 2 hours.
This thing rips. Keep in mind i have a 125 top end on it now - but have the 175 top end to bolt on some day. I know Louis Mielke is gonna hate me for doing this, but in reality - it could be un-done with pretty minimal effort.
Basically this is a SUPER zinger.
Enjoy the pictures.

Hey Matt - that is my plan - ATC70 wheels and tires all around. That is a 70 wheel and tire up front. Zinger tires looked too small. And the rears i have on it now look too big. I wish I could narrow the front forks - but I want this to be all stock YT parts except zinger fenders so I will just live with it as is.
Also - I got caught up in the moment building this - but will have your list together tonight buddy!

I don't think it looks right or even cool, I think you should turn it back into a YT175.

At this point in time I am having way too much fun on it to even consider turning it back into it's original state. I knew some would not agree with what I was doing - but it takes all kinds to make a world. I can appreciate the "purist" opinions - but I never rode it as it was.
Here is a video -

and people got on my case for a Pink 250r!
least I didnt cut up a 3wheeler!
How would you feel if I could your head off? And put Vince from slap chops head on your body?
lmao I love it buddy! cant wait to ride it on the weekend
I think its pretty cool. the front forks make it look strange though with the small tire. I think it would a blast to ride with that 175 top end on it. Frickin crazy....
