    @NINJA I still live at home. 25 and still with the old dear like. To be fair, my mum is sound about it. But my Step-Dad is very keen on DIY and needs the garage. It's fair, I get that. I did build most of it in the bedroom to be fair. #NotImpressed lol.

    @Calum There's nothing wrong with any of that dude, there seem's to be a stigma attached to living with your parents these day's. There's nothing wrong with it at all, just society being the usual PITA. I moved out when I was 21 and bought my own house and GEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZ that was wayyyyyyyy back in 1989 - DAMN old git me. But hey I now live mortgage free so I guess it has it's bonuses??? :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

          @NINJA I want that little tray underneath it. You get a free bike cover for it, and seeing as it's going into storage...that's also handy.

            Rode the bike into storage today. Was about a 5 mile ride. Aww wow. It's so sweet. Didn't open it up, fresh engine and all. But just around the 6K mark you can just hear the solenoid start to open and the power starts rushing in. It rides SOOO smooth. The hydraulic clutch actuation is superb. This bike was well worth waiting to complete before riding it.

            Shame it's going to be in storage for such a long time now 😞

            Oh well, onwards and upwards to the next project.

                @Louis-James Or, bear with me, start on the next project....

                Definitely moving from the 125 scene now though.

                              @declan I saw it quite a few times since I put it into storage. Hadn't ridden it since 2014. But I have used it a fair amount now.

                                      Obviously I have finished this project and I'm not actively buying stuff for it. But my Dad wanted to know what to get me for Christmas, despite insisting that I didn't want anything, he was adamant to buy me something. I told him to get me this.

                                      And yes, I am pleased with it.

                                      My aftermarket OEM lookalike leaked fuel, so it's nice to have a high quality item that shouldn't leak fuel.

                                      I am sure I will find some use for this brand new one another time.

                                        So close to being ready

                                        alt text

                                        Unfortunately, the used gear linkage I bought was just worn out so I couldn't get the rearsets fitted properly.

                                        alt text

                                        The pinch bolt has been stripped and the teeth spin on the output shaft. I was just struggling with this for a while and bit the bullet on buying a new one, quite expensive for what they are (£20).

                                        It's adjusted perfectly now! Setup like a dream.

                                        And the brand new fuel tap I bought leaked, thinking it could be the tap or the tank but again another £20 on another brand new tap and that seems to be fine.
