the headlight guard is off of a 200x chassis that i found laying at the local scrapyard. i think it looks pretty cool for $2.00!:beer

Your fork tubes appear to be bent. Looks nice.

im pretty sure the tubes are straight. i know the dust boot on one is screwed up but i think the forks themselves are straight.

I have to agree with 1985 200s.

The YTM's are famous for easily bent forks. Right at the bottom of the triple trees, viewed directly from the side, I think you will find they are bent. You can also tell because the front tire doesn't appear to be centered under the front fender. Maybe it's the camera angle but I don't think so.
