Haha, yes the steel tips will come in handy for dickhead drivers.

I have finally got round to buying some new boots six months after getting my bike I kept changing my mind about what sort and style I wanted. I knew I needed some badly for safety reasons but kept putting off, also I was sick of my feet getting soaked. Anyway I settled on these, I'm sure they will last me a good few year. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOTOCROSS-Racing-BOOTS-by-WULFSPORT-in-BLACK-Race-Enduro-Motox?item=360397066462&cmd=ViewItem&_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D1%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D2344971192805742524

Also make sure you give it plenty of lube.

The original speedo was knackered. I was going to replace it with a Yammy one but that would break as well in time. It is a common problem with the model of my bike so I bought that one. I'm that busy at the moment I don't really have time to do it, and I can't afford my bike to be out of action. I do plan on doing all the other up and coming work though, I've just bought one of these to help me. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BIKE-LIFT-Motocross-Stand-Enduro-Motocycle-MX-/370534959820?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Other_Vehicle_Parts_Accessories_ET&hash=item56459acacc

Also they had to manufacture their own modified fitting bracket.

This is my speedo http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Trail-Tech-Vapor-Digital-Speedo-Dashboard-Stealth-Motorcycle-Universal-/140842979969?_trksid=p2045573.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D27%26meid%3D2322843376079658661%26pid%3D100033%26prg%3D1020%26rk%3D3%26sd%3D330795444615%26

I thought the going rate was £50 an hour for labour? He said the speedo was a bitch to fit because it had sensors on it for the highbeam, indicator, neutral lights. I was going to do the disc myself but when I started the first to unscrew the first bolt, it rounded, so I sacked it. I could of done the speedo as well with some help froma friend but couldn't be arsed with the stress.

Finally got my bike a speedo fitted today. I got charged £195 for a new front disck/pads fitting and a speedo fitting, all of which I supplied. Do you think this is reasonable?

No I'm going to look in my manual.

Cheers, I'll get it bought. They're were that many, ones with about 50 bits so I wasn't sure which type.

I was advised to check the valves on my bike. I need a feeler gauge, I have looked on eBay and found these, I just want to know if it is suitable. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DRAPER-10-BLADE-METRIC-FEELER-GAUGE-SET-GUAGE-73988-/160660458906?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item25681c0d9a

Cheers, i will post some pics of the end result.

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the board!

No the speedo has all that and it has it's own seperate power supply, it connects to the battery. This is the one I have bought. A garage is fitting it. I just wondered what will happen to the plug. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Trail-Tech-Vapor-Digital-Speedo-Dashboard-Stealth-Motorcycle-Universal-/140842979969?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item20cae55281

It feeds the speedo so it controls that, neutral, indicator, side lights, high beam lights.

On Tuesday I am finally getting a new speedo fitted to my pride and joy. I am going to take the original speedo off myself, my problem is......... What shall I do with the plug connected to the loom which will no longer be of use? Shall I cover it in tape? And how will this affect all the other electrics?

That bike looks mint, I love the wheels. It really does make you think.

I think I will use that method on the whole bike. I'll just buy a few different size brushes.

Try this................. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOPBOX-Motorcycle-Top-Luggage-Box-37-LITRE-for-Yamaha-YBR125-Custom-/150855669098?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item231fb2d56a

Great job on the restoration.

Hi egghead welcome to the forum. I also have an XT 125 X, we seem to be gathering in number every day on this forum lol.

Cheers, I'm going to get an artists paintbrush as well to reach those awkward places. It says that a little bit goes a long way, is it really that good you only need a rreally small amount?

Just ordered some ACF50 from eBay. Where exactly do I apply it, do I just spray it on every metal part?

I switched from a full face to my crosser and at first I didn't like it at all. It was uncomfortable and distracting, now i'm used to it and I love it. My new mirror lens goggles came today and they look ace. I just cant wear them at night. I think I will try one of those like yours when I have to replace mine.
