The handlebars arent bent its the forks.

Look how the wheel isnt lined up with the forks.

On a scale of 1 to 10, that bike is fucked about an 8 1/2

Yep, just slap any old headlight and Indys on it, don't worry about the bent forks, fucked front mudguard and snapped footpeg....

Then we can all lol like hell when you get turned away from your mod 1 for being a complete and utter bell end.

Just give up. You fail at biking, you fail at lying, and you fail at life in general Middle Finger Middle Finger

I think you need more than just a pair of headlights - you need to think about hiding the electrics and the radiator expansion tank too, or it will look like a dog's dinner.

If you can borrow a bike for your test, bide your time and keep an eye out for some used fairing parts on eBay - the bike will be worth more (and look better) in original trim.

I found these -
eBay item number: 161413218128
eBay item number: 151338422719
eBay item number: 261585172839
eBay item number: 400768295611
eBay item number: 251637557325

There's not much else on eBay at the moment, but if I hear of anything, I will let you know.

You have taken a perfectly serviceable bike one of the best 125's and turned it into a piece of junk...

Go buy a cheap scooter for a few months and destroy that..

Just gaffa tape a pair of torches to the front. Should do the job.

If the forks are bent I've heard that they can be straightened by letting a 50 ton artic run over them a few times. This only works for 125 Varaderos though, so I've been told.

I bought some of those universal pegs when I was knocked off my Daelim two years ago they wouldn't fit?

I don't think aluminium can be welded either couldn't on my Daelim.


You need a TIG welder to do that. Maybe Screwfix has one available for a few £££.

Have you had the bike checked out professionally? I think it's time to say bye bye to it, it looks too fucked imo.

I have emailed a seller on ebay about fairings if I get nothing back I intend to mount this or something similar to my existing bent fairing bracket and using arms to signal.

What are you going to do about a front sidelight?

Look on the plus side, there's no no chance of you getting beaten up once whomever bought it found out about the sprocket as anyone who buys it now would only be buying it for spares (or maybe Paddy)

You are the most moronic person i know... You want to spend money on a fucked bike for no real reason.

The sprocket if fucked so youll need a new engine...

You now have no fairing and no headlight so to turn it back to normal youll need a front subframe and fairing and headlight and mudguard...

The bike is now worth fuck all.

i wouldn't be surprised if your forks are bent too.

Just sell it for spares or repair for a few quid then buy something else. a bus pass


This bike was a zombie that needed to be left to rust in pieces BEFORE you crashed it; it sure as fuck isn't worth fixing the damage you just done to get it back to the fucked state it was already in before.

You will be lucky to still have a licence in less than a months time.

Crash was your fault.

If you manage to hang on to your licence that was already teetering on mandatory ban points, with or without threat of revocation under New-Driver-Act probation, before driving without Due Care and Attension into an Alpha-Romeo, and boncing into a concrete wall...

Liklihood of any-one offering you insurance for anythig that has a number-plate, for even remotely affordable money, is at best, slim to positively anorexic.

With possible prosecution, loss of licence and potentially large insurance claims from two parties pending against you....

You take the hint! Get a bus-pass. let the por Very-Oh-Dear-Oh DIE.

Even if you bodge it further beyond belief and back into temporary service, your biking wings gonna soon be seriously clipped anyway.

Give it a decent funeral, and work out how you are going to get around without ANY motored transport for possibly the next five to ten years...

IF you cant do anything to pull the fat out the fire... like maybe saying 'sorry' to the woman whose car you smashed and bloke whose wall you destroyed, and using the money you claim to have saved up for a 'big bike' you don't have licence entitlement for, even f you pass A2 tests..... and making good their losses outside their insurance co's while hoping plod don't pursue you to the full extent of their pleasure... sorry powers.

Meanwhile, why the fuck should we give a shit about helping you fx up your bike, when you dont give a shit about the blokes home you have damaged, the woman's car you have smashed up, and seem to believe that t is all their fault and you shouldn't have to accept any responsibility, and that that's their problem, 'cos YOU shouldn't have to watch where you are fucking going, on a bike you don't look after and do little but ride, recklessly, into the ground?

Till you grow up, learn to take responsibility for your own actions, look after your own shit, and respect other people's WHY the fuck should any-one give a shit, or offer you the time of DAY let alone, ways to help you carry on as you are, a fucking menace to navigation on Britain's roads, suggesting ways for you to make your fucked bike serviceable again?

Wont help you, a proven irresponsible incompetent road user; wont help us, letting you carry n a hazard wrecking other peoples homes, vehicles and livelihoods.

And if you cant live with that reality, don't. Change it one way or the other, cos honestly, we don't care any more.

the money you're looking at spending on doing this would be better spent on a cheap scoot to keep you mobile and able to get to work while you wait for your tests to come around.

Looking at that, you need new forks / to straighten the forks
you need to fit headlights and adjust them correctly
you ideally need to fit indicators
you need to mount the coolant bottle
you also need to check the radiator isn't damaged and leaking.
you also need a foot peg

The police are able to pull over anything they think wouldn't pass an MOT and insist that an MOT is carried out on the vehicle within a set length of time, which it must pass.

seriously, buy something cheap but running to last you a few months.
