spud , turbo and doc.. thanks for the nice replies.
As to the light conversion... ahhh.. i have a plastic light. darn..back to the drawing board.
doc... am a pic hore when it comes to bike renovation, lol..
here is a couple of today..
re-painted the swing arm. Was a tad rusty
gave the back wheel a clean. then hit with clear lacquer to prevent the rim from rusting further.
I have seen the pistons on ebay weld. I can get rebored local to me very cheeepo, just need a carb to go with it. now thats a thought.. so i persume the heads are the same?. same valves?.
i have noticed the inlet valve in the combustion chamber a little on the tight side 125cc , meaning room in the squish area. Any mods done here are going to be quite hard to do. Esp skimming the head. I think in reflection
the 200CC motor is probally the better engine to mod.
Iam going to sink the valves in a little tighter into the seats, as they are not very flush , see if i can gain some more room. the rocker arms can take the slack up.. need to get a nice 0.5mm off the head. or even better 1mm
from the specs i get off the net, 9.0:1 like to be up at 10.0:1 or close.
