i made a metal housing that went arround the lights, it did help but not a mass ammount. They start over heating too easily as well, start smoking lol Razz

they are only little lights you can find in desk lights so are no good for road use, no doubt you would fail an MOT with them too as you have no high beam Razz

its all for show, theyr ok during day time but like you know, crap at night.

sounds like a nice little project, and don't go for road knoblies as such i had some and they were crap on my 125 mtx.

i don't know the name of the tyres i got now but i got them new (rear tyre) for about £28 for the back only and its chunky but not exactly off roady and it looks nice and its excellent grip too.

will try and find the name out for you but i think if you converted it into a super motard looking bike it would be great Wink lol

Knobbly tyres are great for off-road, but terrible on road.

They may help slightly in gravel and will be better in the snow, but in the wet and icy they will be a lot worse, as well as in good conditions - where you want more rubber in contact with the road, rather than a lot less!

verry nice, jelous Sad

wish i knew more about bikes before i got mine but ah well, mines took alot of hastle and still runs good.

once my insurance is sorted out i will try and do mine up a bit.

your rear mudguard has alot of holes in it :S

as for the tyres on mine it just says: Vee Rubber (followed by numbers etc for tire dimensions etc)

the tread it self looks like this:

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HONDA-MTX125-MTX-125-MTX50-FRONT-TYRE-275X21-275-21-/110526598734?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item19bbe60e4e


as said, i get excellent grip on my bike (honda mtx 125) and instantly felt more confident when cornering and feel like i can make the bike lean that little bit further with full control Smile surprised at the price of them too.

I got a DTR for £550 and thought that was a bargain. Great fun bikes. Ideal on roads ravaged by two hard winters Cool
