lol, Yep the IT i`ve had for almost 3 years has FINALLY got a GOOD engine in it :cool:

So i`ve got a $300 400 1981 IT 175 :cool:

All it NEEDS to run is:
1.Coil
2.Airfilter
3.header gasket/springs
4.EK o-ring chain link(lot mine)
5.and little stuff like the muffler needs to be bolted on,oil changed and such....

lol yea, i know!

No i was to cheap, since the engine i have needs major machine work(cynder needs to be re-sleeved,new piston/rod,new/milled crank) it would have cost twice as much as this engine did(and it has good compression and everything looks good, no scaring on the piston either)

Here are some better pics
Lol EVER piece of aluminum was HAND polished by me
(everything from the Shock-the muffler..lol it only took me about 2 weeks to make it all shine!

I need to put my carb. on it and i think i`m going to use my Head(since its un-painted)

 

[digifox]

Yayyyyyy! ! !

its alive!
lol sorry i havnt been on in awhile(kinda forgot.)


Anyway the IT lives!
The engine is on the stock Bore(66mm)
with not scaring or anything


runs AMAZINGLY (burnout through 3rd gear?)
and 4th gear wheelies??
lol

but yeah its runs and this is after i got done ridding

Yes Halloween was my first ride
And YES the whole pipe is held on with Zip ties

my patch job on the pipe.

Since then i have Changed to my spare head(unpainted) and painted the pipe semi-gloss Black/grey

What kind of pipes are you looking for? I am currently going through all of my local Honda strorage and selling tons of new and used parts on E-bay. Let me know and maybe I can find something..ya never know what is back there! I have only just begun to dig....I just can't believe what they have had stored for so many years...So many parts so little time!Honda parts,yamaha,suzuki,ktm ect are in there!

 

[digifox]

going to be something pretty rare. . .

its a Yamaha IT175
and they ONLY used this configuration in 1980 and 1981 the Yamaha IT175 G & H model
(the pipe comes out on the left side of the cylinder, wraps around the down tube and bends up and then back . . .see pics)
But if you happen to find something for a 1980 Yamaha YZ125 let me know(i think it might work)

EDIT:
oh and if you happen to run across a Aftermarket pipe for 1980-86
KDX80, might be intrested
