Sukida SK125-2 Pharoah

Hi Guys,

I'm based in the UK, but UK/EU spares backup for these things just does not exist!

I got a 2008 Sukida 125-2 Pharoah, bought for peanuts, so it's worth spending a few bucks putting right. However......

It's a clone of the late 70's/early 80's Honda CG, and I've put a few CG parts on it already (Drive rubbers, Chain, Sprocket, front brake cylinder, headstock bearings), but the front brake disc (Rotor?) is warped beyond all recognition. I've sent it off to a supposed specialist, and had it trued and it has come back more warped than before! I need to find another, but I cannot find anything close to it.

At the spindle end, it's Honda CG ES-4 (centre bore, fixing holes, offset etc all match up), but the overall diameter of the CG is 240mm, where as the Sukida is 202mm. I've borrowed a brake caliper from a local instructor who has Brazilian built CG-125's on his training fleet and offered it up to the Sukida (with the hope that if it fits I'll fit a bigger disc), but the mounting holes on the bracket are just a teensy bit out (in relation to the holes on the fork leg)... enough for it to be a problem and not fit.

Now, I know that the Chinese NEVER design their own stuff, they prefer to rip off others existing designs. But what have Sukida ripped off on this model? I've spent days trawling the web looking at pictures, firing off emails to vendors and asking for dimensions etc only to be told no dice.

Without a replacement disc, the bike is effectively a write off, as it's dangerous in it's current condition (it will snatch and lock the wheel under normal braking). I've spent too much money now to warrant junking the bike, else I'd have it stripped and on ebay already!

Help!!!!!
