Dude, nice. Don't want to be hyper critical but the tabs look a little on the wonk - could be the pic angle though.
There's a lot of stress going through the welds you've made so I'd recommend you brace them up against the old upright mounting points to be on the safe side.
They have been braced up to the original mounts the bits pictured was just a temporary to make sure it sat right cheers rick

Well here it is my dtr project thread will start off with how it looked when I picked it up
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/03/b7c5e40372ad9f5619de3f883133650c.jpg
Your plain run of the mill 2001 dt125r non runner so out with the engine to start the rebuild and while I was at it came across a job lot of parts which included some dtx forks and wheels
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/03/7da1d19e822ece1fe9002b91de37a0c5.jpg
Then when the engine went back in I decided to spruce it up a bit with a lick of paint some new panels, headlight, dep exhaust, digital dash ect ect and this is how it stayed for a while
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/03/c0be9f0d836511468f7efde519f2099e.jpg
Then came mot time and I knew the fork seals were leaking so off came the forks so I could fit some new seals http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/03/c187d55a3294b6cf931250abc486f789.jpg
While they were off I thought I may as well tidy her up a bit
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/03/de10353e8be91c1f9115f2f842c3d16f.jpg
Oops went a bit to far, so out came the tools and stripped and sprayed the frame and things started to go back together http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/03/aff7cde0e3f1970fddf6360c9906b282.jpg
Then ended up with most of it all back together when I decided I might change a few bit http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/03/15b4b74db461561f54cf38b6985a51c6.jpg
So after scouring ebay I stumbled across a few yz 125 parts and thought it would make a nice suspension up grade http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/03/31928491b626106fb07c35aa7b9729af.jpg
So set about stripping the bike again to try and fit the forks and yokes so with a little fettling I managed to get them on
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/03/18365be8f792f09ca20f3856bd367a94.jpg
So then came to getting the dtx sm wheels to fit couple of custom spacers, inserts and spindle and the front was almost done http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/03/08f4bbfb07b5e524327b4ae8e9137923.jpg
So thought I would move onto the back to see what I could do there so a lot more scouring through eBay and I came across a nice yz 250 alloy swing arm and thought how hard can it be http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/03/0fdd2e044da012cda42b0adcec31328b.jpg
So while waiting on more custom bits to fit the rear swingarm I decided to test fit the dtx rear wheel which to my disappointment was not going to fit in the yz swingarm, so off I went to ebay again to try and find a solution a lot of time and money later I found onehttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/03/b52046cbf613ad568fe176dddd24129d.jpg
They came in the form of some yz/wr supermoto wheels, then came the fun of sourcing more parts like discs, sprockets, chain ect http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/03/82f311e7eeb6f03321ca5118f6dc8453.jpg
And this is basically as far as I have got at the moment as waiting on more parts http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/03/3a337baff3260f0a9d2af317e818370a.jpg
