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

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

Making a Wheels Lacing Jig

October 7, 2018Motorbikesandrew

The spoked wheels I have found for the CB125T are a bit untidy and will need the hubs painted, new spokes and rims polished, so I have begun fabricating a wheel jig. I still need to get some M18 threaded rod and nuts so I can clamp the wheel in the jig. Time for me to learn how to lace wheels 🙂

Working on the rear end

New Battery Box

I made a new battery box today, removed the stock one and fitted pod air filters. I’ve also ordered a whole lot of main jets so I can get it jetted just right ?
