NEXT!

The 92 Peak PC CR125 is now safely parked up 100% complete, which means the next build begins!

Was seriously lucky to get an entry into the majorly over-subscribed Farleigh Castle Vets MXDN (September 2015), and this is the bike i'll be racing in it. Against the clock on this build though to get it finished properly with time to ride it and set it up before the race. It's a Super Evo class (90-96) that they've added for 2015 so unfortunately up against 250s and 500s, but should still be fun on the 125...

Luckily, I've been parts collecting for months now (not long after I started the 92 Peak CR125), so I've actually got most of the rare parts I need already.

Recently picked up a gem of a 94 KX125, mostly original and, under the dirt, a very straight bike and so should be a lot easier to build than the Honda!

Anyway, as usual, i'll keep it updated as the bike progresses, but should be a lot quicker this time round so won't have to keep you lot waiting!

Stripped the bike down this week, no hidden surprises at all which is nice! Swingarm has hardly any scratches or dents, was just caked in dirt.

Studied the frame and can't see any dents, cracks or damage. Will get it blasted and double check again, but all looks solid for now!

Motor looking very original and clean! Chuffed! Rode it a little up and down the drive before I stripped it and seems crisp, gearbox all good!

...and this is the aim with a quick Photoshop. Old school n-style font for the numbers, same style as the 101 on Pichon's 95 bike!

Got a huge list together already for NOS KX parts I need, that i'll hopefully be able to get in 1 or 2 orders to speed things up...

Also need a set of original 94-98 KX125/250 radiators. Need to be excellent condition please, if anyone has a set?!

Thanks

NOS PC Works Exhaust from CGH Imports



NOS Works Connection Skid plate also from CGH Imports! Tabs will be welded on the frame in a few days time, then off to be powdercoated and the build can begin!

Thanks mate should be a gem...

I've made a bit of a silly mistake though! For years I've had a few NOS 94 Team seat covers and decals to match, selling off the ones I don't need...I have no idea how, but I've accidentally sold my last seat cover!!! Hopefully someone is able to help me out with a new original I can buy off them...I know they're out there as I sold 6 of them that my dad's friend has owned in stock since he closed his Kawasaki dealership in 98...

Thanks

Oh no! That's the kind of stuff I do.

I don't sell anything now till I've finished each project.

Nearly everything I've sold after having it sat around unused for years, I've needed within 6 months.

You got all the plastic?

Good news! And big thanks to martandvicki on here! In his build thread i noticed he had a new spare 94 team seat cover. Quick email to him to see if he can help and had it paid for the same evening! Chuffed to bits, was getting a bit worried! Smile

Thanks again mart

Chuck after you are done with all this work you should become a parts broker, considering all your sources!
