just a quick update i had an hour or so spare this morning so decided to get the rear panels cleaned up ready for repair washed them in some soapy water then used a solvent based cleaner which i use at work for cleaning plastic pipework before solvent welding the joints

Well done mate

just a quick update ive bought some "new" panels so will not be using the 1s i have started to repair also i have decided to strip the tank of its paint before respraying it mainly due to the fact there is already 6 layers of paint on it the outer yellow layer is so thick i have carefully used a hammer and a smallish chisel to remove it i didn't want to use nitromorse/paint stripper with not knowing if there was any filler present (as it happens there is some) as it would soak into the filler causing further problems the tank work so far has taken around 1hr30min so this is where i am up to..also got a couple of pictures with my headlight on..ignore the photos of the yellow panels lol

[trebor4460 0]

thanks for the support i need it stu i don't really have the patience just got planet rock blasting out and knuckled down "SIMPLES"

trebor4460 paintwork aint my bag either i just get these daft ideas that sound great until i say them out loud

and to be perfectly honest this bike will still be a bit of a dog for a while even when im on the road due to the lack of available parts for example the small plastic panel that covers the battery 1 side and the air box the other these are like rocking horse turd a lot of the stuff on ebay etc is for later models and is not compatible with this year but im in it now and there ain't no going back

[Stue11 0]

Keep up the good work were all watching

[BanditMike 0]

Congrats on the prgress to date, and respect for the patience . Don't forget the pics once all finished

[dick65 0]

good luck with the respray,what colour you going for?

[dirtydog 0]

this is the color im going for just a standard honda red although the bike is "customised" i like the idea of keeping somethings original/standard i could go for some flash metalic paint job but it wouldnt suit the bike

your right dave it does get a bit nuts down there towards the end of last season it did get abit daft the later it got with people doing burnouts (cars mainly) the odd bike lifting the front end but what makes it dangerous is the way the croud stand so close to the road and surround the field exit nobody on or in a vehicle can see sweet fa

the only reason i ended up with a ns125 is because it was a cheap project origanaly i was after a RD125 but they are soooooo exspensive
provided i can get through this year with this bike i will look for another over the winter....or i could just dab in and do my full bike test and stop ar**ng around with little boys toys
