Cg125 Scrambler/Brat/Tracker Sort Of Thing

Quick update, got some scrambler/supermoto bars on her and I'm not sure if im keen on them yet lets wait and see when it gets some new rubber! On that topic i went about replacing the front inner tube and managed to speed up the process of the already worn rubber and gave it a hand to shear the ruber off the sidewall. All in all a new front tyre is needed along with a rear tyre! Although I am trying to get a mx typre trails tyre thats nice and thick but will still fit in between the forks without fouling.

Looks like I need to try a few wheels in there with various size rubber im going to measure the gap in between them in order to get a 'round about guesstimate' of what I can go ahead and order :) Got the frame painted and seat trimmed, went about trying to give the tank a 'weathered' look instead im waiting for somegood weather and i'll strip the paint and hit it with some clear! New fork boots too I forgot to add. Just need some dollar to throw at the build although my other cafe is going to need wrapping up soon to pass the MOT :-\ Need to also trim the bolts down underneath the seat and replace the nuts with some wingnuts instead so I can remove it if needs be!

Anyway enough of that, heres the pictures!

With an hour spent grinding away the paint with the angle grinder and wire wheel, a near miss from being blinded by the damn thing deciding to fire a piece of metal into my eye! :o From then onwards i've worn sunglasses, nothing wrong with prtecting your eyes and looking cool at the same time ;) Anyway cleaned the paint off and sanded it down afterwards, sprayed over with some petrol resistant laquer!

Heres the Result

Got the tyre on, bent the exhaust (with a lot of trouble!) mounted the tank. Oh and I shaved off the ears of the fork tube covers and put some gaitors on!

New rear tyre is going to be needed. Maybe a new set of newer triples to strengthen the front end up as I'm not going to be able to fit a fork brace in with the new tyre, theres just no room left to fit between the tyre and forks, anyone got any ideas to stop the forks twisting?
anyway heres the pictures!

Fashioned up a rear mud guard and got the rear tyre on.

Painted some more of the frame and painted the rear wheel a few other pieces and that's brought it to where it is currently!
