Have you ridden it yet? I have to agree with everyone else that that is one sweet bike. Did Eric Goor do the motor work?

Super clean.  Nice job.

Also looks like you have a really nice work space for your projects. Very cool.

Yes Eric Gorr did the topend.  I ground the cases myself (actually a friend with a machine shop did while I stood there, lol). 

We took a trip south a week ago to Monster Mountain in Alabama.  The bike RIPS!  I'm honestly not very good on a 125 anymore, going to need some practice.  And I'm not exactly the target weight either....but it was a blast. 

Two strokes are back!  The place was packed with them on the 4 days we were there.  In our group alone we brought 3 RM125's and 3 YZ125's!

Man that bike is clean!!! It's almost a shame to have to ride it and get it dirty. :P
If a pair of 2" brass balls isn't working, I doubt that the 3" model will make much difference.

I have some friends that rode there, they all say it,s awesome. Since it,s a Mark Barnette the 125 specialist track, is it a 125 track-a good flowing layout ?  I,m  170-175 lbs. you just have to work on coming into corners faster,smooth thru the corner and exit, so you can do the jumps right out of corners. Travis Preston was 190 lbs. and he beat Bubba in the 125 supercross championship.
