    Only when I try to live. I took up Benchrest shooting. It's not mc racing but it's competition. Got 3rd today :up: . The recoil does work on the neck a bit :down: I have PILLS :p

    The tank of the Yammy's looks like an old Fizzer 4 tank.

    I'd love to talk with the Honda owner to ask what was involved
    that isn't obvious.

    From the 2 photos the Honda has much less clearance, and I can't tell if those are the CRF450 forks. They look it.

    congrats on 3rd... just last month i made #8 of 23 shooters in our local USPSA competition shooting my G17 in production class.

    I think i need to get with FFRacing about my suspension.


    From what i can tell, my YZ might have a 2" longer wheel base than my ZX10.... not sure how that compares to a RS125. I'll try to actually measure the YZ tonight.

    Of course, lower the suspension, and with the angle of the forks, then that wheel base shortens. But that brings in other steering problems to overcome (maybe).

    Looks like i've got lots of comparing and measuring to do.

    Tdub Say what???

    Lowering the suspension will also lose wb. The 125 will be in the 55.5" to 56.5: range when finished. Tdub
