Been also learning how to restore an zinc plate nuts an bolts (garage is like a meth lab cooking up like Walter white lol) for the little yz 125 project it was meant to be a budget build but that’s going to go completely out the window it’ll end up as good as a new bike 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
