Doc I always look forward to your videos and the builds you are working on. As I’m watching, I feel the tension created to make these builds as accurate as possible. I personally have restored 7 motocross bikes over the years and I have empathy for you. There are days when I’ve called in every favor I’ve got, on the phone with friends in Japan with no luck sourcing a specific part. Strangely or miraculously or both, I’ve been able to complete my builds to my personal standards. Doc you are a rare soul with a passion for this “hobby” that’s second to none. God Bless.

For hard to impossible metal parts to find, (but can machine it/them), there is a great company in the USA called "Tormach", who make affordable CNC machines. I have been living off a 2007 PCNC1100 since I bought it new in 2007 for porting little 2-stroke cylinders. It will not be good for any kind of billet production, but with small cutters (no indexable cutters, too hard on the machine), it is a great prototype or one off machine to make parts. It is considered a "bench top" machine, but you can get a stand for it, and is about the size of a standard series 2 Bridgeport mill. So if you know how to program them and run it, you should be able to make many parts that you can't find. Not real efficient, but it does a great job, and it is a good company to do business with. I have nee running it for 16 years now, and my down time is probably just over a month, and parts are easy to replace. I keep the ways and ball screws oiled often when in use, (I use my coolant tank to catch and reuse the way oil, so I use a lot of oil), and i have not even adjusted the gibbs yet. I paid 12 grand for mine, fully loaded, but they did not have a tool changer when I bought mine. For one piece work, (and even my light production), changing tools by hand is just fine.

Yes Kurt’s was similar to this the only difference is he preferred the conventional forks, we didn’t go castrol and a riders number as there is too many people building bikes, putting a number on them and claiming them to be the real deal- this was built from the correct parts but parts all the same

How does the "traction control" work? I just use the clutch myself. :) My 2019 YZ 250 2-stroke has a power jet carb also, but I am not a fan of it. I would rather have a normal carb.

RC 250 were the names of the factory Hondas

Powerjet carbs - production 250GP bikes had them from the early 90s. Surprised it took so long for them to appear on production MXers, 'specially 125s. Maybe the conservative Japanese didn't trust the average prospective owner?

Ive been around this sport since 1978. At one time in the states I was dubbed the next big thing. Rode for suzuki, never agian and team green. Anyways I would not bullshit you sir.
