T125 Project
Posted: Tue Nov 07, 2017 6:40 pm
Well I figured I would start a build thread rather than posting all my individual questions in the general street bike area.
I finally snagged a T125 a while back, it was in very corroded shape but was complete. I plan on restoring it and also modifying it also.
Here is a picture of how the bike sits now, working on putting a T20 front end on it now.
Got the engine out and torn down and now starting the hunt for parts.
My main question right now is on the main bearings. This is my first engine rebuild on a horizontally split case. What are my options for getting bearings the have the appropriate grooves and holes for the retaining clips/posts? I can find the right sized bearings but they do not have the grooves and blind holes. I have seen some people use loctite to keep the bearings from spinning.
Also, anyone know of other later model bikes that share the same middle seal or these other non-generic crankshaft parts? GT185 maybe?
Thanks,
