[QUOTE="Shadowpillar, post: 1122104, member: 72805"] Okay, well basically, I contacted yamaha and they told me it was an AT1MX, but it obviously isnt. Did a little more digging and I'm sure it's a 1975 DT175B. that VIN is most unusual though, but the frame is entirely unlike all the bikes that have been listed, and the most identical frames are the DT175A and the DT175B (1974 and 1975) all other years have too many irregularities to be like my frame. I'll show you guys some pics (remove the spaces) : ht tp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v607/acidchat/Motorcycle/100_0757.jpg The bike the night I got it (I sanded the seat pan to get rid of the worst rust, the seat pad and cover are thrashed, I need the rubber foam they use and the material for seat cover to fabricate a new seat..) the exhaust goes out the other side, the white tank under the seat is the oil tank. the original color of this bike was blue. ht tp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v607/acidchat/Motorcycle/100_0793.jpg picture of the bar that goes between the sides of the frame with one of the 3 mounts. (the engine mounts in a triangular fashion like this: : - (imagine that dash as a dot) ) which is what proves this isnt an AT1MX like yamaha says, which has a big thick vertical bar that comes down. ht tp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v607/acidchat/Motorcycle/100_0794A.jpg The engine, not a good shot, but I cracked the sides off to check for any major rust damage or oxidization, the magneto seems somewhat oxidized and wobbles a tad, but I dont think that's too much of an issue. the oil that sat in the engine preserved it pretty well to the elements, no major rust damage. just minor oxidization on the surface of some parts that were directly exposed to the elements (such as the connector rod! though its integrity seems to be intact and isnt really rusted out..) So what do you think? [/QUOTE]
