Had a break, remember that green loncin thing? yep engine barely in, the frame needs a little more angle grinder kisses.

Made better (easier to weld) brackets for the rear of the seat and tided up the front mount too.

Rear frame will have to be narrowed and pointed up ever so sightly.

Polished it up, fitted new clutch cable, sorted a pair of standard handle bars and a mind blowing amount of other little things, it is now finally advertised.

Whilst trying to fix the front end bodgery of the rxs, this gn125 with it’s 32mm fork and proper pinch bolt upper yoke got broken.

Chrome is not in the best condition, but the big problem is all that length!

Just needs some ape’s, forward controls, replace the rear springs with a bar of steel, or maybe someone to hit me in the ass with a hammer it’s all the same really.

Where i want the front to be. 32mm forks are just the right size but there is just no way i can use em and even if i spent the time and money to shorten them the chrome is a little too shabby.

So back to fixing the 30mm front end (off a gs125 suzuki if you are wanting to know) hmm first things first the stem will need lengthening by approximately 1cm this is possible for me to do and might happen soon, not happening right away as i don’t have any money but soon, then i will have to get oily and take apart the forks to see how and where to shorten them, there are about the right length with the preload spacers taken out but there is sod all suspension travel. if i can sort the travel with out raising the ride height at all, i may just convert the top yoke (which is just a pressed piece of flat steel) into a proper pinch bolt setup and allow the forks to slide up a bit.
