Well it’s pretty much done

Comparison between the OEM and PC exhaust flange: Aftermarket drain plug that i replaced with brand new OEM Honda, you can see what I'm saying when I say it had to go at this point: Aside from the faded anodize plugs, the VForce 3 Reed Block needed some addressing too The VForce emblems needed some elbow grease to look uniform, and all it took was a single Grip Clean Hand & Tool Wipe. I then put a small strip of Gorilla Glue and reapplied each. Reed pedals looked solid still. I think the all silver VForce emblem looks trick. Bead...

Need some axles and I would say it’s pretty much done for now. I’ll take better pics of when I get some time

It's always fun owning a bike with a story behind it. Carb mod is a version of the Yamaha boost bottle for sure. FYI Lectron carbs have been around since the late 70s with continued improvements to the system for years. Lots of neat mods to the bike and he definitely liked spending money. It would be interesting to see how much stronger that bike runs over the more traditional modification available.

The hole depth is different in titanium bolts, depending on the manufacturer... Mettec... Motostuff... Pro-bolt...

The carb wing will help a 125 with low end. Most 125 towards the end ran 38mm carbs (same as a 250) to give them that sweet top end over rev. It was at the cost of low end as the velocity through the carb was pretty slow and made them run larger pilot jets leading to poor throttle response. The wing increases that velocity which helps the pilot circuit and throttle response. Can you feel it, a little bit but it definitely helps clean up the jetting. The PWK air striker is the gold standard of carbs. It just...

That's kinda hilarious on the carb mod. It took me a moment but I think I figured it out. That's a glorified version of a boost bottle setup. Different setup than I've seen of it. It looks like it's goes from the manifold loops up with the U connector to one of the carb vents. Why it requires that custom made reed block manifold. Popular mod back in the early 80's. Look up boost bottles mxa had an article online about how it works. The carb wings another Popular early 2000's mod. It was supposed to give you better throttle...

Cheers for posting, it sure is an interesting build. A lot of time, effort and thought has gone into it. Thanks for sharing!
