it would be nice if you got a set of Simons forks to use on the YZ I hope you get. if you get a 1980 YZ125 you will have to stiffen up the suspension for sure. in stock form they were sprung/dampened for about a 140 pound amateur skilled rider. the mono shock might be difficult to modify in this time and age. maybe use a shock off a 250? I see Simons forks on eBay all the time for big money. they add 85% more cool factor to any vintage bike. Fox forks only add 55% more cool factor.
oh, and painting the forks yellow and adding Simons decals will get you places on the list of shame so don’t even think about it mister.
