For an upswept exhaust, probably the CT90 would work. A simple mending plate from the hardware store would make a good bracket. This muffler would be a little restrictive for a 125, but you could drill a few holes in the end to open it up a bit. I'd do one hole at a time and check power and noise, then decide if you want to drill the next hole. Small holes can be plugged with a stainless steel sheet metal screw, if you decide you went too far. A mending plate: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Hillman-3-i...3-Pack/3478207 You may also want to look into swapping in a used CL70 swingarm from eBay, as I keep hearing about the swingarms on these breaking very quickly. I'm guessing/hoping that would work. A CT90 swingarm might work too; I will go measure mine right now to let you know the dimensions. 220mm.....width at swingarm pivot; this is the most critical dimension 192mm.....width at rear axle 395 mm.....length from middle of swingarm pivot bolt to rear of chain adjustment slot Go over everything on the bike, esp. checking tightness of fasteners and trueness of the wheels. Thinking of picking one up myself, for the tinkering challenge..... 8-)

Went with the Xpro X25 125cc Cafe Racer or Bd125-2 Boomcat or Venom Bobber whatever they wanna call it lol.
It's actually titled as a Jiangsu Baodiao Bd125-2 Got it from PowersportsMax. Ordered on Thursday, 4/20, arrived on Tuesday 4/25, put it together in a few hours by myself. Bill of sale arrived Thursday 4/27, went to DMV Express to get it registered and that cost $250 Did get insurance on it for a whopping $4/mth from State Farm!! Took it around the neighborhood. Won't run with stock carb without chock! I like the style and looks but I do notice the front suspension does not feel like it has correct fluid as it bounces all over the place and I didn't feel comfortable going over 35 mph |

^^ With that bike you are buying a bunch of parts, many of which need upgrading. Still a good deal for a guy who can turn a wrench.

If I can sell my TaoTao DB17 125CC Dirt Bike I'd be interested in a Dual-Sport for sure and your Hawk would be at the top of my list!

For the 125cc a NIBBI PE26 would be good. You can get the stack carb to work better just by installing the right size jets and fine tuning the idle mixture.

rear shock upgrade for boomcat
Has anyone upgraded rear shocks yet? I've seen a couple of videos on youtube with upgraded shocks but haven't been able to track a link. One of the guys on youtube said that he put a kymco spade shock on it. Not sure if it's from the 150cc bike.
