                      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
