Before i start i would like to say that i am only 17 and im not sure how this project is going to turn out, But lets hope it goes well Smile

I bought this honda NS125R-K via a friend that had bought it, he got it for £350 and mot'ed it, taxed it, put a new front tyre on it and decided it wasnt for him. So i bought it for £500! Smile

He didn't quite realise that these bikes are hard to get hold of, Now i have told him he wants it back but its too late Smile

So to start off, i had a few problems with it, after a few days of riding it, it suddently turned into a 4 stoke, and red lined at 7k RPM and made an ear splitting noise. I had a hole in my exhaust. Well it was more the size of a fizzy belt if you have ever seen one of those sweets Very Happy

It has been patched for the time being Smile

Im not entirely sure how to post pictures in more than 1 post of this topic but i will try Smile

Here are some pictures of the bike before i started, and some pictures of the body work being sanded down Smile

.
I did look into buying new pieces but it was rather expensive Smile
