i got this a little while bike after the wheels were put on another ar
it had been stripped abit or in some cases bodged
old pics i found of it long before i got it (i found then on the web)

somone had bodged a set of kh125 clocks onto and said it had been off the road since the early 2000's due to overheating
after that it was bought by the previous owner then sat in a shed for a while in pretty much the same state although he did get it running



then later is how i got it after the wheels and exhaust were gone but i did get it for a decent price




and one the way home




when i got it home i managed to get the engine to splutter not bad for been sitting for a while also there was a mouse nest under the carb
i ended up kinda nicking the engine to for the a1 while i sorted mine out ended up doing 900 miles not bad with 105psi compression and a dodgy kickstart lol

im still upload so many more to follow

also i would image running a k&n filter with stardard mains it would have never run right in the first place which maybe why it overheated

so a little while after getting the b7 i got a kh125 k7 (12v Wink ) which had a nice set of sport rims (and better forks) so fitted them on the b7 (the kh came with a spare bike with good wheels so it was all ok haha)















so the topend of the engine




the engine was in good shape just needed a set of rings (piston was ok be replaced) some gaskets as the base was made from a pub menu lol a clutch basket and finaly a shim on kickstart
