Who cares if it not the fastest, as long as the wind hits your face and you have fun with it.

+1 on that ;)

That's a pretty cool little bike you have there.

Front brake setup, adapted from a kh125. Welded adaptor plate to kh mount and swaped forks round.Only downside is speedo drive wont work backwards so I've got to run a digital speedo.
Needed hydraulic brakes instead of the original cable brake (something not quite right about cable disc brakes on a motorcycle).

Thats correct got the whole brake setup from a well known auction site for £9.99 inc postage.
Fitted new seals and piston and braided line that i had lying about , thinks it was a rear line for a suzuki rm mx bike.

Refurbed my wheels ala rattle can like the "mosquito".
Worked ok but time will see if it lasts.
Might pay out to get wheels rebuilt at a later date if they chip.




I know my sheds a mess but thats how I roll. :P

Bought a new toy for the shed.
Managed to get a 3hp compressor for a 1/4 of the retail cost from halfords (those in thy Uk will be familliar with them for being notoriously over priced).
Blast cabinet was slightly damaged so got 40% off the reatail price.
Blasted my engine (only the bottom end as I'm going to rebuild top end so gonna blast head and cylinder seperatly)
Carb came out great

After



Half done spare barrel
