Started to spray the barrel in preparation for the rebuild, not exactly amazing progress, but at least you know I’m on my way. I’ve also stocked up on oil resistant tubing (6mm) and M8 banjo bolts (6mm) for the oil cooler. There’s also plans to fix a 12v socket later on for a satnav so I can finally start doing some mileage.
The other good news is I have started playing with the clocks and will be doing a write up on them as the odometer gauge is a direct replica of the original CBR125 04-08 unit. Whereas the rev counter side is slightly different and not interchangeable but the foils are! Its handy for the UK market as people are tired of seeing KMH and squinting to see the MPH readings. Anyway here’s the barrel in progress.
