    Sl 125

    My first bike.
    Unfortunately they don't make Rose Tinted Glasses strong enough to make me want to drop 5K into one....+revin.
    The lack of cam bearing ensured I never want one ever again.

    I machined up a plate & tig'd it to the top cam chain cover that held a 6 series bearing & held the cam on the part between the cam chain sprocket & advancer where the seal usually ran & used a LLU sealed bearing.
    Could never make it oil tight though.

    I bored the journals, made sintered bronze shells and pinned them in place. Think I did two 125's and three 175's, worked just fine.

    Some bikes seemed to suffer more than others, a friend's 125 did absurd miles and never had a problem.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    Though not by much

    Advert is worded poorly.

    I has a K10 kit on it - full new tanks and other goodness to give it that original CB750 look. Looks fantastic and it costs coin to do so.

    Here is the link to such spiffyness and cost. There is a currency convertor on the left of the site - full K10 kit is NZ$6,800 plus.

    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    I've seen one, parked at boxing day races in Yellow Black and Silver that was somehow worse.

    Yeah, that heady combination of taking up as much parking space as a car and inadequacy facing Wellington hills.


    Wait. A fucking tuk tuk you say? So you might have a racing tuk tuk, a commuting tuk tuk, and then, . . .

    Go to Thailand and there is a real risk that you end up fucking someone who was tuck tucking their dick when you started buying 'her' drinks at the start of the evening ......
