Sport/Road Bikes

I've taken engine and new top end down to a local engine reconditioners, who after laughing hysterically at the size of the engine agreed to "give-it-a-go to make up a couple of brass bushes for the gudgeon pin and replace the replace the rods that the head and cylinder are bolted down with. The CBR125 rods are to long by about 21/2 cms. Apart from that it should all be good.

So more money to be spent then I hope it's all done and I will have a kicking little bucket. Currently I am ...

Well, bike stripped down, top ends off and I thought well lets finish the evening by seeing if I can fit the 150 piston before turning in for the night, and , no. It's rod is to big for the conrod hole!!!

The new rearsets are working a treat though.

The new top end for my CBR125 bucket, which a it's head already assembled!! So now to the garage and time to re-build. I hoping this will give me 4 more HP.

I have also fitted new adjustable rearsets with folding footpegs. The non folding pegs of the old adjustable sets always were in the back of my mind and slowed me down. After the last meet where I crashed, but finally got comfortable on my bike combined with the new footpegs will well and truly put those thoughts to rest.
