I bought the YZ80 for 5150. Its all there..just needs some elbow grease and axle grease.

Question for the builders. The piston did not look too bad but did have some light scratches. The guy had use a ball hone to clean up the jug. I mic the jug and it looks like a stock piston will still fit. Does the jug have to be re-nicalsiled since the guy lighty hones it.? What is the purpose of a the nicasil on a iron sleeve? Wheres a good place to buy the OEM piston kit? I do not plan on restoring the bike to new condition but I would like to spit and polish it back some. All the plastics look ok except the rear the fender has a crack in it. I figured a plastic weld job and new set of decals will be ok. I will need to replace the bars and a it needs a new set of rear brake pads. Also a new seat cover.
