Yea I agree....Bros...AKA...wannabe metal mullisha types..
Funny thing...they all look the same...LOL...
Seriously tho....all that craps coming off ASAP.
The frame and everything else is exceptionally clean.
Bottom rails are perfect.

yeah, when I lived in south OC, they were Bros, but here in Vegas, no one knew what I was talking about when I refered to them as bros. In vegas speak they are flat billers, and henderson, nv probably rivals socal in per capita flatbiller/bro ratio.
To get the thread back on, that 125 conversion will need a cradle. good luck and post lots of pics.

How are you planning on doing the conversion?
I highly recommend the billet wye that Jercs makes. He also includes some very nice head stays.
Review his build post on the other site. Mine is on this site and that site as well.
Nice find

Thanks! Ive been reviewing others threads regarding this build. I do have a billet Y section courtesy of Al Gava...It looks like the 00 CR250 air boot is the one to use?
Any other tips you can offer Id appreciate!

No, but I did buy his wye, and installed it on my 125 conversion. I have never met Jercs, and did not know him until I bought his product, still don't know him, but we have talked on the phone a few times, he gave me some tips on how to do my conversion.
I do highly recommend his product though. Best custom 500 wye I have ever seen.
!Caution! the 125 conversion should only be done by those with patience.
Also you will note his new wye does not have the cross over hole, and is a bit shorter. This should make for a little easier conversion. I doubt the radiator mounts need to be touched, and the radiator mods would be easier to do.
I have a few other tips if anyone is interested.

The 125cc chassis's are so cheap... Stoffers should do one, then offer kits for them with new cradle pieces and a "Y"

I love my gen3 250 conversion, but I would really love to try out a gen3 125 conversion, just how nimble and quick turning the 125 chassis is it would be awesome in tight trails. Likely a little sketchy at speed tho

Yea I'm really looking forward to the light and slim chassis. I only ride track so it'll be sweet.
