Looks a lot like this one from Nigel Kimber.  Not the same tho.

Quite possible we are all correct, a kick starter is something OEM's don't like to make a lot of different versions.  I owned/rode way too many YZ 125's not to recognize those 4 lines in the foot section and the shorty kickstart.  :vroom: :vroom:

Pic is a 1991 YZ 125 both the bike and the kicker.  Yes it's pink, yes I owned one.. :help:
It was the first brand new motorcycle I bought.

More pics of the bike?

Sorry I've got nothing....

Have a look here: http://www.bikebound.com/2019/01/11/yamaha-rd380-cafe-racer/

Quite a restrained and classy RD/RZ build. (RZ was called RD350YPVS in Europe)

I went down that Banshee rabbit hole thinking an aluminum kick starter would be sweet on my RD350. What I realized is that most of the kickstarters are ugly as F and I might as well skip a few cheeseburger instead.

It's true.  The aftermarket Banshee kickers are horrendous.

RZ500 kicker is the jam, but they are way expensive now.

that's why i made mine out of tubing. light AF and strong. also not super short.

Tigging one up out of tube would be how I'd want to do it too. Steel or aluminum, either way, it's the best solution.
