Title: My New Project - 1980 CR125
Post by: spicydave on April 30, 2010, 08:02:37 pm

Hi All,

Just want to share my newest restore - 1980 CR125

I found the bike in the back of a motorcycle workshop and decided to take the bugger off their hands  ;)

Currently the bike will stay "as-is" as we have a race on the 29 May 2010

After that I will do the full restore and will look like this

This is what the bike looked when I collected a week ago

@ hoony - I'm in SA so have to order all the parts from the US-of-A

At this stage the bike and all the parts is not to heavy as I picked the bike up for a real bargain (I think)

Will keep you guys posted with the progress
