Honda 125 Brat style By a Newbeeeeeeeeeee

Awesome build! Tell Hadley he's chosen really tasteful mods and parts ;D

Bit scary the lad can't use a computer in this day and age though? Tell him to get onto that. I have a mate who is a carpenter who hates computers, never even sent an email till he was 28 or something. From his experience, it severely handicapped him. It's fine if you've got employment, but if you want to move towns, find another job, make a CV, or even go out on your own in business, it's crucial! Pick up an old laptop for nothing on ebay and just get started ;D My 2c ;)

He seems to have picked everything up damn quickly from you so hats off to both teacher and pupil!
 
Hads says thanks for your input :D :D :D
we have,nt seen any cloth tape for the wiring loom over here in the UK !Shame as iv done it in self amalgamating tape now :'( :'(
Thanks for the heads up on the leavers .
He has an Iphone 6 plus and can send emails and stuff but when it comes to cut, paste, drop and drag sort of stuff !!!! Well what can i say! as for him getting on with the tools and stuff he,s done really well ,you know what they say
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day ,Teach him how to fish and you feed him for life!!" it work with all kinds of stuff in life i guess :eek: :eek: :eek:
The seat will be here soon , then just waiting for the tank to come back and he,s almost done!!!
O ya and he,s passed his C.B.T so he can ride it when its got its M.O.T
 
Sweet start to this project a great future of bike building for Had ime sure, great to tick the CBT box get all the paper stuff and a bit of practical out the way bet he's buzzing, I was and at the tender age of 38 haha keep going and be rolling before winter gets the better of us .

The tanks back and the bikes ready to go 8) 8) 8) 8)
I think Hadley has done incredibly well for his very first build !! he;s come up with some really nice ideas that look good enough to manufacturer and sell such as the leavers,Chain guard, carb guard.It was a really nice idea on the bar grips
all in all i think this is one sweet 125 ride
Had a blast out riding with him the bike gets loads of attention (and rightly so)
Hadley you did a dam good job :) :) :)

Hope to get some video of it out and about soon
Aston Neale Motorcycles Decal is a name we made up !!!
Hadley;s middle name is Aston and my last name is Neale (just in case you were wondering ! Probably not :p :p)
 
Geeze, what a mint paint job on the tank! Nice detail. The whole bike came up amazing, all involved should be stoked!

Btw, was the taping of the air filter to avoid re-jetting? Or does the filter just give way too much air even with larger jets?
 
Thanks man
Yes the tape is the filter gives way to much air
The bike runs so well quick and responsive and doesn't hold back as if it needed more tweaking
 
Hadley;s so pleased with the bike he wants it in his house :p :p :p :p
So much nicer then when it stared :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
