T125 Stinger - now 4 years along...

Hey all,

Great to find this site again, I lost it for a while!

I thought i'd post a project ive had going for the last 4 years, 1969 T125-II.

It was a very rough example when I got it unfortunately, lots of bad rust, broken bolts and thick grunge.
That's partially why its taken 4 years, that and..laziness.

In hindsight I should have found a better one to begin with, im happy with how its turned out though.

This week I started to put everything together. (some things just dummied up..

)

I'm waiting for pistons and a rebore at the moment, I also need to get engine covers blasted, seat re-made and a whole bunch of other small things.
At least I can see what I need now so hopefully ill be done soon.

Ash

Ah Mate, I am impressed with your confidence for tackling some of those bits. The results show what can be achieved with dedication and a few skills. Great job on a neat little bike.

The "after" pics are so much easier on the eyes.

That sucker was a mess. Congrats on getting it this far. She looks like a winner !!!

PS: Good to have you back, Ash.

Cheers all.

Haha I think it was more naivety than confidence when I began...

I'm still waiting to get the cylinders back at the moment, then I can try starting her up!

Ill keep you posted and update the pics soon.
