Well the tee-peices are at the local engineering place, will cost me €25 to lenghen the stem, not to bad but once thats done gotta go shorten the forks. hope thats a little easier.

Brother got this for free, it’s  massive for a 125, will try and put it in a aprilla rs125 frame. it’s from a go kart, check out the twin chain sprocket on the drive shaft! it had how much power?

quick inspection, shows it to be quite beaten up, but it should run quite fast for a short while.

What colors?  since the tank tail piece and fairing are going to be red, i was thinking all yellow, then maybe black with yellow rim’s and now i think i have decided on black all over with the face of the spokes in yellow.

Left over nitromors was put on the tank. the paint has loads of lacquer on it. very tough.
