Tri-moto 175 front end

[old-yellow]

I just bought a 175 front end of ebay and was wondering if I need a 175 axle or if my stock 125 front axle will work or are they different ?

the only differens i found so far between the two is the way the exhaust mounts on do you have the 175 rim ?

you need the 175 axle the stock axle is like 2in to short i had that problem when i got my 175 forks, i had a machinest make me one for 50 bucks, i cut my own spacers and i run a honda atc 110 front hub

[snowwolf]

Can I cut the side mounting tabs of a 125 front fender and just drill new holes in the top of fender to mount it to the 175 front end or are the different shape all together ?

Thanks Alex

ya u can to do that and it should fit, but i would save the 125 fender incase u ever use your forks again. I run a yt200 front fender on mine but i also had a big red fender on it

Thanks trimotoman. I have two 125 front fenders so I am not concerned if I have to modify one for these purpose. Thanks Alex

I have the old yt175 fender if you need it. It could probably use to be repainted. I sort of was using it for a test bed before I painted my tri z headlight plastic but the fender is solid. I also have a nos dull yellow maier front fender if you would rather have that.

If any one has front 175 axle they want to get of real cheap let me know and I mean real cheap I spent all of my money on the front end. Thanks Alex

No extra axles here, sorry.

Just curious what you want for the old 175 fender. Sorry pat my computer is older then dirt that's why it takes so long to post

I'll take a picture of it to see if you want it. You can have it for shipping if you want it.
