Hi everyone, I need some help with footpeg headaches. I have swapped my engine (which had the footpeg bar attached to the base of the crankcase) to an engine without the mountings. So I need to come up with a way of creating footpeg mounts that come from the down tube of the frame from the...

I know believe me, its a massive shame! I've decided to get the major headaches out the way with some help i.e. wiring! but i will be still doing a lot of the finishing touches myself, once the wiring and footpeg fabrication is sorted by somebody far more skilled then me ha! thanks!!

thanks for the help mate! Erm - most notable things would be: Full wiring Wheel lacing Footpeg relocation/fabrication. Engine/carb/fuel hook up to get the XR running smoothly. thanks Spud!

Hello! I'm in need of help from you... I have been (very) slowly building a little tracker but have recently got a new job in London which is forcing me to commute back and forth each weekend to Manchester. Due to this i have little-to-no time to work on the bike anymore and need to help to...

Hello, sorry, i havent been on here for a longgggggggg time. And more worryingly i haven't touched the bike at all. I need some help from you lot if possible!! I'm looking for someone (in the North West or the London Area) to finish the bike for me, either a builder or someone with lots of...

Hi Tijmen, It requires the drilling of 2 holes - a 15mm diameter hole for the toggle switch, and a 9mm hole for the push button switch. Note: a 3.3mm hole needs to be drilled and tapped with an M4 tap to create threads for the supplied M4 screw which fastens the switch to the bar. They came...

Hi All... Sorry its been a while! (friends weddings and birthdays and all that pa-lava means i haven't had a lot of time to dedicate to the bike) I have been tinkering with the smaller odd jobs on a night. Bought a pretty swish mirror with a short arm so not to protrude too much... I HATE...

Hi Maty O! I got the loop off ebay... search sellers - oneoffwe He's a top guy, been over to get some work done, bit of a magician with metal. Down & Out cafe racers use him for their builds. By the way, if he doesn't have your measurement drop him an email and he'll be able to accommodate...

Hi ACUK, i got them from modern motorcycle company in Australia! I think they were manufactured by POSH Japan where i got my mini-switches and mirror (i'll post images soon). I have to say, really well made, top quality... One thing though... these only have one wire connector instead of two...

Ground the original headlight brackets off the shrouds and filled and smoothed them down, having a bates style mini headlight that is mounted through a bottom bracket to try keep the front 'tucked in' and clean as possible... Fabricated a bracket for both the new re-positioned headlight and...

Just an update. Reworked the mounting point on the tank, trimmed the metal mounting lip so the foam can sit up against the tank hiding the fitment. Just used a bobbin with wing nuts either end, pretty secure though. Mocked up then made a seat pan with a bit of heat to get it flush on the...

Hi All, Can anybody recommend or have contacts for bike electricians in the NW?? Nothing complicated at all... Im just useless with electrics full stop ha! Thanks

Moved forward with the rear loop and battery tray. I was going to play around with some nice detailing to the tray i.e drilled sections but because it doesn't stick out too much I didn't want to draw attention to it. Once painted black it should be even more subtle. The loop had to be welded...

Thanks DirtyFrank! Ha this is just a catch up to where I am now..

Ground down the lugs and tabs for the plastics, cleaned up the rear end then completely stripped the frame with paint stripper/wire brush/and lots of elbow grease. Had to post the obligatory man angle grinding ha Mocked a battery tray to house a antigravity 4 cell, it will be a tight...

Stripped all plastics, seat and fender. All sold, raised some more cash on ebay for new parts. Definitely going to change the rear for a 18" to even up the bike and so the seat sits horizontally. First pic with the CB125 tank, going to reattach a little higher with a rubber bobbin so the seat...

Bought a new tank off ebay, I really didn't like the look of the original CG so i bought a CB125s tank, pretty hard to find in pristine condition so picked this up with a few dents in it (nothing filler cant solve). I saw a guys bike on Instagram who had mixed a CG with this shaped tank and...

As for inspiration... It's an amalgamation of a vintage tracker feel but with a clean touch. For the colour I will mainly restore the original with grey drums / lower for legs and the rest in gloss black. For the tank I really want midnight navy with some sort of emblem. I'm thinking the...
