ooooo ....thats gonna look sweet :)

makes me wish i bought chrome handle bars :( , think you might have some trouble getting the filter setup to work properly though....the xvs engine is very temperamental! even if its a slight fraction out on the air fuel mix it will run rough as foooook.

but yeah looking good m8 B)

nice to see another (proper)custom xvs 125!

Looking good! Makes me wish I still had my 125 to start chopping. When did you get the bike / start you're mods?

when i got the bike i had awfull trouble getting it to run right in the end it turned out the the previous owner had fitted a mini moto single cable throttle witch was causeing the butterfly on the carb not to open an close correctly

i have since put a standard twin cable throttle on an it seems to run ok with the filter although the exhaust now crackles when high reving

I had my XVS125 until June last year - never seen another XVS125 in Leeds... at least with you're mods you'll be easy to spot. :)

Don't really know any breakers, however these came up on google which could be worth a look?

(Wyke, near Bradford) - have passed these on a train a few times.

Well too be truthful mate i cant see fuck all in these pics as they are far too small lol i mean i dont wear glasses but after a bash on the old whiskey my eyes are still trying to look at the bike in any great detail lol.

Post up bigger pics using photobucket and im sure that will help in determining if those forks will look good or not.

Dan when copying the code to paste in here, highlight in blue, FORUM CODE, then copy and paste that, looks like you've highlighted, then copied and pasted 'forum thumbnail' code instead, mate
