I imagine tape is fine when straight...but believe I would lay down a chalk-line first...
Bought a spare set of piston rings off ebay, these are no longer available new from honda. I hope this nh125 doesn't actually need them, but I might freshen up the engine someday.
Got the mount tack welded in place at a few points, will have to take it off to fully weld. Going to add a couple pieces of steel and make a bump stop from the mount to the frame.
My bump stop setup, found a rubber wheel for a dolly and shaved it down to fit inside the frame. Thinking about adding another dampener mount off to the side like a stock a nh125.
I need to do the same thing for my center stand. Is it possible to post up some shots of the other side and maybe under? I want to see the bracket idea you went with and where you mounted to on the frame. Hows the tire clearance when in the "up" position?
I need to find some new haters...the ones I have are starting to like me.

The center stand I setup is pretty much just a kickstand now, it can lean a little bit to each side but the tire doesn't come off the ground. It's just a couple inches of angle steel welded to the corner of the frame with a hole drilled into each side for the pin. I didn't want it to hang too low under the frame, I thought about extending the legs of the stand itself. Also had to make a spring hanger mount, which is just a bolt I welded to the frame.
