It's looking more like a piece of junk every day Very Happy Not as good as some of the others on here though, but it's slowly evolving..

Noticed the bent indicator + scraped brake cylinder huh? It was dropped before I got it, though I too have dropped it since (on roundabout in feb)
One of the reasons I replaced the handlebars when I got it, they were bent Smile That and I prefer straighter bars than typical cruiser handlebars.

Yeah the bike has quite a few scrapes, judging by how much the brake fluid resovoir was ground down it must have been quite a speedy crash (for a 125)
Now that I have replaced the mirrors the next job will be new clutch perch and brake hose/cylinder etc etc. No rush though..just as soon as decent cheap bits come up on ebay :p

Probably, but I'll remove and clean up regularly..it's just a temporary solution due to all the stone chips around due to road resurfacing etc round here. Once the roads are better I'll remove them again.
