Now that the Triumph has arrived the CB125T had to go, due to a lack of garage storage space.

It’s gone to a good home. Graham is the new owner and I’m sure he will care for it well.

It’s been a very productive day with the build almost complete. I got pretty much everything re-assembled. I was amazed that after a couple of priming kicks with the key off  once I turned the key on it started first kick. Chuffed!

On the home straight now….

i finally got the big bore kit fitted and re-assembled the engine without incident. A quick degrease and blast with the pressure washer then a fairly heavy coat of paint and once the paint dries it’s ready for installation.

Picked up the frame and bits and bobs from the sand blasters today. All primed and ready for a coat of gloss black and then a top coat of clear.

I cleaned up at painted the rear wheel and forks today. It took ages to mask up. Still got the front wheel to do.

A busy Sunday.

I got a frame hoop mandrel bent.  I’m not sure it’s quite right, maybe too long?
