Yeah no prob, but il prob have to wait till its on its wheels out of my shed, my shed is tiny, can only just get round my Ped

Getting there nicely

Yeah the 125 is air cooled 2stroke, it needs a piston, maybe rebore? Il go take a look when I get a chance! Your right, I had to cut the muffler mount clean off to get wheel on, going to leave the hole open, it's only going to be used on sunny days, so should be fine, need to chop my exhaust anyway ...

Sprayed the forks today, look mint too, also sprayed my wheels in stunning candy red, but my rear fell off my stand so doing it again, but loving the look, also need to cut few coils off my springs to refit forks http://i569.photobucket.com/albums/ss140/bobspeed_album/vivaro/1CEBD4D4-5970-4AE9-988D-...

Had my frame back from the sandblaster, hopefully get some primer on it tonight before it starts rusting again!

Ha ha, I bet there be a few guys after a wheel like mine now :-) if you look at my forks in pic, where the tape was I cut out(52mm shorter) welded them back together, and chopping an inch off the springs as spring location is a little lower now, the bottom fork pic is them shortened and all ground b...

Cheers guys, I've always had big super bikes and supermoto bikes, but do love scooters just to be different! As for your welding tube, just practice practice practice, wether it's tube, box, or sheet, it's all the same mate, make sure your steels are clean and rust free, and your mig is turned up en...

Tyre arrived, so excited as we don't get Whitewalls here much, stuck it on, then realised the wheel wouldn fit, I alwYs thought it be tight http://i569.photobucket.com/albums/ss140/bobspeed_album/vivaro/9ed6c0aa31015e06fc3453d1305c60b3.jpg So got the pen and grinder out and got stuck in, it WILL FIT...

First of all I found this group trying to find some info on lowering a melody (spree) so I then put a post up about Banding a wheel? Cut a wheel in half and space it with a band! Had good response, so thought I would post my progress, started with a local cheap Melody, been looking for awhile, then ...

Sorry dude, forgot to post pic of. Y mount, didn't want much stretch on this one as its running standard motor for popping to the shop :-) I just used some 20mm box section which brings it back 20mm,and offset off 30mm to centre the wheel again http://i569.photobucket.com/albums/ss140/bobspeed_album...

Well my tyre tyres turned up, stuck the rear 120/70/10 on, and wheel wouldn fit http://i569.photobucket.com/albums/ss140/bobspeed_album/vivaro/9ed6c0aa31015e06fc3453d1305c60b3.jpg So let tyre down to get it on, and mark out where would be touching, marked it out, and cut it away, runs free now http:...

I put the engine back in earlier so I could see how the wheel fits, and work out my engine spacing http://i569.photobucket.com/albums/ss140/bobspeed_album/Mobile%20Uploads/7be06654e9c7bed91f6c0cb544ff0a85.jpg This is where is will roughly fit two inches higher than normal ride hight, but as you can ...

Cheers guys, it's nice to hear good feedback, didn't know if I would get a slating fo doing it saying it's not safe and stuff! My first car was and old Ford anglia 1960, with wide arches and banded wheels, and I loved it, then everything went wide alloys and shiney rims with the whole fast and furio...

I'm hoping a 130/70 white wall, with a tube in to blow it up??
