Nice, what are they like to ride? I'm seriously thinking of dumping the big powerful bikes and moving on to something more smile inducing such as a 125/ 250 crosser.

Keep up the good work!

they look like RS125 wheels to me, the fronts on backwards aswell Wink

Can the forks be swapped so the brake is on the other side and the wheel can goin the right way round?

thought about that but it would not have worked with the bolt

the bracket is out of some 5~6mm stanles steel

I like this thread, almost as much as I enjoy the spelling of conversion.

Bike looks good, the fact the front wheel's on the wrong way doesn't really make much odds, as long as the tyre's on the right way.
I'd paint the tank though, that just looks wrong.
