Ive had this dirt bike since i was 15, i learned to ride on it and I think its time to overhaul it. I'll try to dig up some pics of it but I got it all stripped down today and pulled the motor. my original plan was to put the factory one back in it but I'm going to see if I can fit a larger engine in it from a later year. It's a 1978 yamaha dt175 Enduro. I've always liked older dirt bikes and I wanted to fix it up and enjoy it in the summer.
