        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

                                Cleaned up some bits bolts and hardware to see what they will turn out like,

                                I Vaqua blasted them

                                some to paint/powder coat and others are to to get zinc plated will be replacing a lot with new ones too

                                EA1F096A-7374-46D4-8BF8-828030EC7D20.jpeg

                                Most Of them turned out great
                                Zinc plating makes them look like new again

                                Deep pitting where rust and been and scratches in the bolts does show up tho

                                        Forks are in good condition no rusting or pitting on the stanchions so a strip and a clean and add progressive fork springs to improve the front suspension and course new seals

                                        Tubes to be polished up to a chrome like finish
