Can't remember the model, I took measurements of what was needed and looked around a breakers.
There seems to be 2 types, [1988 to 1996?] each with different bends, but the pedal rubber ending up in the same position.
They are pressed steel so can be bent to suit.
CG 125 fit as well.

I have seen the better cast aluminium ones fitted, but don't know what from.

Cheers, I'll have a look at the local breakers for one.

Yes, there should be a rubber seal around the headlight to stop the light from bleeding back into the cockpit at night time.
Quite a few people have had success cutting up bicycle inner tubes and glueing them together to form a seal similar to the oem one.

Long awaited updates,

Well I have received my package form Rick of uprated front springs and so on and have had it all fitted and sorted and I have tried to source a rear shock that wont cost an arm and leg but couldn't so just bit the bullet and bought a Wilber's rear with remote canister that is fully adjustable so that should be here in a week or two now and following on from this I wanted to get them wheels powder coated in gold but they just could not get the right colour so played it safe and when black.


Below are a few pics of how she sits along with the CQuarts coating I am trailing on the wheels. (I run a bike only detailing company in Australia called Clean Ride) they llok really good and the finish came out A1, will need to see how it last on general riding before I can offer it to clients?

big question I have is I bought these radiators from Ebay and upon taking the old ones off I noticed the top rad is straight and not curved? I only really bought them as I wanted a new look, there is nothing wrong with the old one, will it still fit or am I in world of pain and should just spray up the old ones and STFU? any help??

Image


and second question is the exhaust system? is the factory?? as my blue one looks a little different and im not sure if there were just a few different factory version?? I will have the buffed to mirror chrome shortly, stay tunned!

any help you can offer I would be eternally great full :)

Those Chinese rads are usually no problem - depending on how they have positioned the brackets you may have to trim the fairing slightly, also check for full-bump clearance between the bottom edge of the upper radiator and the front mudguard/tyre.

The pipework in your pics is a Japanese aftermarket half system using the OE front cylinder downpipes - neither the welded on heatshield nor the can are original to that system, I think...
