and so on topic its unbelievable, but here's my Bonnie tank with its very own Huntsman

You never know what you may find if you overhaul the brakes Look what turned up in one of my front pistons An M8 hex head screw. The thread on it was only the same length as the thickness of the piston end wall, and it had been drilled and tapped into the piston Why? Chuff knows, but I'm glad I did the work

was aligned with verniers, then re checked with a steel rule after tightening, had the sprocket cover off and it was filthy inside - gonna take a proper look at the weekend - will keep yous posted. that file faireys are a pain in the arse, they made my numberplate really small one night....

Car Dicks is the term, so we get bike dicks too. esp the ones that hit the rev limmiter at lights,,

why did you bring foams into this!

welcome to the YOC! Both bikes sound like fun to me.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Heya Stoney!! Welcome to the forum To start with, there's a post of mine in this topic that may help: It's written for those going from a large cc 'other style' of bike to a large Cruiser, but the general ideas still hold up. It's obviously just my opinion and my own findings, but I've not heard many arguments against it, heh heh! Certainly the 125 Dragstar is a decent bike. It's heavier than most 125s, probably the heaviest out there. The BHP is a bit low too, and yet if you ride it well enough in town you can still outride a lot of lesser riders on bigger bikes. Plus, if you fancy a 300-mile holiday ride down to Cornwall or something, it will cope well enough. If you look after it, it will not let you down.

Life may not be the party we thought it would be,but while we`re here,we may as well dance!

That seams the best bet. There are plenty of tanks out there. I got a few parts myself recently at the right price its just a case of waiting. I cant post photos for some reason I have another go later. DONE. I got this! and a fair few bits for a RD250A. Forks, Yokes, Mudguards, Chassis, 2 Tanks, Loom (undamaged), Clock loom ( which is what I went for) Rear Light bracket (result these are getting hard to find) plus lots more. £85 and a drive to Yorkshire.
