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.
BTW - here is was before the change:
