Cg 125 1995-6 (back to basics)

[RatBag22]

Hi guy's, Pretty New to the forum names Ollie. "ahem" I mean RatBag.

Got a Cg 124cc 1995-6, a while back about 7 months now. Been really working on it for the past couple of months with my dads help. He rebuilt a 1972 rocket 3. about 3 times (not sure if the name was to do with it : ) anyway just building it back to basics as my first bike, I was 17 about a month ago and just been lurking here for a while. looking at some sick bikes aswell. some of your guys work is just awesome hope mine comes out a quarter as good. and don't worry I'm not one of those little runts you see. so just hope to get some advice and some good old fashioned knowledge. Not that my dad dosn't have enough ;D

Unfortunetly I only just started taking the pictures about a month ago as I had a shitload of school coursework which gets in the way quite abit. I found myself quite lost for a while about a week or two back, life is some scary shit. I didn't know what I wanted to do, but I'm pretty settled that I want to spray cars, bikes etc. so i'm gonna see where that takes me.

So here's where i started (with the pics)

Tank all flattened first wet and dry then T-cut then watered down T-cut then rub off then clear lacquered

Sorry I don't know why the quality went down i used imageshack so that could be it. I'll try and create a photobucket later
I'm gonna put the rest up later. but I'll tell you what i have done so far. I've sprayed the tank. Done the frame, forks, swingarm, wiring loom, headlight, blinkers, speedo setup, handlebars, and done the front wheel.

thanks guys.

Hi again (sorry for double post)
After that i sprayed the filler cap black to match the deacls.

Then put the decals on. their black chrome vinyl which makes them look awesome in the sun. luckily my dad used to work as a vinyl layer. so he's had experience layering decals before.

and now some glamour shots of the done tank.

Front wheel has seen better days, will eventually be gloss black. Here's a pic to give you an idea of how bad the chrome was.

thanks again

Welcome aboard the good ship DTT. You need to post up some picks of the rest of the build, since you have grabbed our attention. That tank is the business.

Thanks for the kind words guy's, Surprisinly it's a rattle can jobby but cost me quite a bit as im known to mess up. And I'll try and get some more up tonight.

Alright all, managed to get some pics on Thursday especially for you.

Ignore the Primer on the swingarm it needs another coat of gloss. anyways.

Eventually both wheel's will be gloss black, this is a test wheel by the way.

Changed out those old indicators that were giant compared to these ones, I reckon they just tie it all together.

Using the same grips that a "2002 Triumph speed triple" has.
Mine:

My dads "2002 Triumph speed Triple":

Now what it shares the garage with,

Theres also a Triumph Trident in there. (not the T150) the remake, I didn't get any pics.
well it's back to it I guess, I'll try and update again later.
