Yes, this will do nicely.This is my work and if you don't like it stop and turn around.

Any complaints from the peanut gallery will be systematically and factually castrated. Constructive interest and help is greatly apprecciated. Surely i will have some questions, as will u.... :postwhore

Building a 1982 yt175 hardtail with front and rear hydro disc brakes, Long travel aluminum dual crown forks from a honda I purchased for $75, modified frame and rider position, upgraded rear end :rolleyes:
Clearly the KTM inverted forks would be waaaayy better but at 5 times the price. Maybe next year :rolleyes:

Got the head tube. Weeeeee! Its upside down here to show off the relief for the seal that sits there. Weeeeeeee!
Mostly I am cleaning Parts up like the axle, carrier, brake caliper rebuilds on and on and on. Im getting ready for the Frame work and mock build a little too on the side. I can post up the finished pieces that are interesting.

I had it fashioned similiar to the Honda head tube for about $50 From DOM tubing, I added a couple changes such as the OD cut around the bearing is longer and fractionally thicker. All done via emails with just a caliper accurate to 3 digits. PM me for specs or questions i will do what i can to help.
