Have been nosing round these forums for quite a while now and finally bit the bullet and bought a project bike to get stuck into! Lol

Picked this RG125 Wolf up for 200 of the queens finest which I thought wasn’t a bad price, seeing as though they seem to be getting rarer and rarer these days.

She needs a fair bit of work doing to her like a new gear linkage, brake lever, clutch, new battery, radiator, rev meter, fork seals, ignition barrel and to sort the wiring out which I’ve got a feeling is going to be a right arse hole of a job…

Basically, I’m planning on completely stripping the bike, a spot of shot blasting and powder coating, and restoring it back to its former glory…well…that’s the plan lol

Here is a few pics of what it was like when I got it back home and what it looks like now Smile

Right, Saturday afternoon was spent stripping the brakes, switch gear, radiator and wiring loom.

So eager to get the engine out but there’s plenty of rounded off bolts preventing me from doing so… Evil or Very Mad

Noticed a huge nail in the rear tyre when i was taking the brakes off Evil or Very Mad Shame really because they'res plenty of tread on it as well Rolling Eyes

By the looks of the it the rear's nicely squared off anyway. so you'll benefit from fitting a new tyre Smile
