Excellent thread, the trials and tribulations of a project bike.
Keep the good work up, and you'll soon be finished.

Picked all my bits up today so I can crack on a bit

Next job is to get the back wheel painted,disc cleaned up and painted,I've already painted the caliper and got the new sprocket and hub,picked up spare wheels so will get the rear painted and then start building it up
Any one know where I can get a wavey disc from? As I'd like to go a bit tricky with this now,would ask on the 125 forum but it's full of kids to busy wanking over porn on the net!!!!!

Updates and pics will be coming a lot quicker now!

Wouldnt matter how big the shed was I'd still fill it !

New wheel bearings just arrived in the post
The wavey disc is not happening,only one I can find is from china and the quality is a bit dubious,the Ducati one was 10 mm to big diameter wise

Picked up the stainless bolts needed for building the back wheel so time for paint tomorow

And While looking for back tires I stumbled across a website selling a Dunlop front brand new at £19.80!!!!!

Got to be a mistake on the website so I've ordered one and it's on it's way
Cool
Dunlop sportmax 120/60/17 for less than £20 delivered!

How's that for a bargain ha ha

Will wait and see if it actually turns up though
