Sadness is upon me, the time has come to finally be ready to RIDE it :grin:

what will i do with my evening? fix the wifes CBR125, pleasure the wife, watch repeats of American Chopper?

any way more pics. next projects are to strip the carbs down, powder coat the the wheels White, and get on the hunt for genuine OEM honda plastics to get the Seed Colour Scheme going.


Wanted if anyone has one spare? i have used lock wire for now, but would prefer so have something a bit more tougher. it broke when torqueing up the pinch bolt. :(

Said hole that i have cut in the base plate,

Another future project for when i take the rads of for a DEEP clean.
Image

Huge unsitely holes (nosecone front indicators) the fibre glass company or previous owner did :(
Image

Hand made alloy cover plates for the above ugly hole
Image

Fairings Refited with NEW indicators

To Be Continued..........
