                            the bike is a runner it ran well but this doesn’t matter too much because I’ll putting a 200cc engine In replacement of the 125cc one anyway

                            One of the the main Issues found when stripping the bike down is that it had be turned into a motor cross bike by the previous owner,which mean that it is missing a few vital parts that it needs to be road worthy for a MOT.

                            But Shouldn't be too hard to source what I need.

                            Another issue was the wiring loom had also been butchered which mean getting a new one to replace!

                            Why people feel the need to butcher looms
                            I don’t know!

                            Other than that the bike just had general ware for a bike of this age

                            I will replacing most of he components on the bike anyway to achieve a show room look.

                            Few pictures to show the bike been stripped
                            Ready for a good clean!

                              Cleaning up the parts, I have access to a shot blaster and vapour/Vaqua blaster so this is what I used to clean up the parts and prep them for powder coat.

                              Shot blasted some parts

                                        Will be replacing the wheel rims with gold anodised aluminium rims and orignal dt hubs so I took the tires off and cut spokes to save time as I plan to used stainless steel spokes anyway,
