Sorted out loads of little brackety things relocating the mess of wires to underneath the seat. Worked really nicely as now they’re all hidden from sight :)
I also had a plan to weld a new bigger pipe onto the exhaust after the collector so i can fit a home-made silencer, but i had a look at the collector and it’s just catastrophic.
They say the exhausts on these bikes don’t breathe and i can see why! Pipes that neck in significantly and don’t even attempt to blend into the chamber. We can definitely do better than that...

I also have a motorbike and a welder, hmm. You’re a bad influence.

You know what to do ;)
I’ve had a head start on the welding, but you’re starting with a working bike ;) see who can finish first...

Haha I’m not sure there’s too much I want to do to it other than maintenance and repair. The box mount needs reinforcing and the exhaust could use some work but otherwise I already like it’s look.

I don’t think they make turbos small enough for a 125 XD

Yeah i suppose they don’t do turbos for strimmers and leaf blowers ;)

You say that but I did end up googling this earlier and they do make tiny turbos for small capacity carts and bikes.

I’ll have to get it running first. Died 5 miles from home and now will only idle, dies under revs. 99% sure its clogged carb. Had to push it all the way back D:
