Finaly got myself a 125 , got it back home .............found out had no MOT
Go on round the garage . They tell me it failed and this is why :
-Chain split link not fitted correctly
-rear shock has insufficient dampening
-rear shock has excesive play in bearings
-Head bearing has excesive play
-Headlight front possition lamp missing
-front disc has excesive runout
advisorys
-chain worn but not excesive
-Front tyre close to legal limit
They told me will cost £400-£500 to just fix these things only
........... I told them to GET F*CKED
So looks like i will be doing my bike up by myself then getting it MOTed. Instead of them doing the basics and making me pay 2x as much ill just do it all and make it look nicer and less
So here are the things i allready ordered (ill get pics of them all on here)
-New chain and sprocket set ( get rid of one of the advisorys as well )
-New halogen headlight
-New headrace bearing set
-New neoprene fork guards
-New sunline grips
thought id buy some new gloves as well :)
Other things i still need/want to get
-New rear shock with bearings
-New seat cover
-Maybe some handguards
-Nice new sticker set not sure what yet
and either some spray paint or some Perminant markers ;) iv done some of my own art work on a white pannel on my bike , will get a pic of it up see what you guys think .
So ill post some pics of my bike as it is now and some of the little things iv done so far .ill keep updating with before and after pics of each bit and the bike over all and the process as i go along :)
Sounds like its gonna be a good bike when done, as long as it looks good lol - designing the panels seat and tank yourself sounds like a good idea, not ott though.
Yeah hopefully will be good , allthough im not MOTed i went out on it yesterday and sounded like somthing blew and when i stop at lights it will race like **** then just cut out :/ so might need to buy a new carb as well as the air inlet screw is wound all the way in as well :/ but oh well if i can get it looking nice and running good ill be happy :)
Been doing it all week and pretty much finished just a bit of tidying up to do tommorow and my MOT then i can be back on the road :) when i get it home will get some stickers for it and finish my design on the white pannel
Here are some of the pics of the work iv been doing
Tried to take as many pictures as i could when i had the time and they are in the order of the way i did things . Hardest thing was replacing the shock to put it back in took 6 hours ! last person to replace it didnt put washers in at the bottom and had bent the housing so i have to make it fit haha ill have some more pictures up over the next few days some more tommorow of it all finished and done and probably of my design and some more whenever i have the money and get some more stickers and anyone know how to properly cuz down pannels ? if been told just use hacksaw want to cut down the back two to give more of a scramy look but will cut half of my nice little design off :/
