Looks great Cyclegod.  Tell me how did you get the tank looking so white?  I've had my 84 tank sitting in a tub of White King for a week and its made zero difference.  Brown colour still there.  I'm looking for a plan C.  Plan B is to try the UV lamp trick.  Cheers

I've done nothing to the tank at all, it was that white when I got it. The owner said remember to drain the tank when your finished riding and flush it with white spirits after.

Nice Resto. I raced the similar 1986 CR125. Still have it in the shed. Great bike, very reliable. Only trouble it was a bit heavy and underpowered against all my mates who had YZ125's at the time. Had a barrel of fun with it though. After seeing your resto makes me want to dust the old bike off and take it for a ride.

No power valve was a bit of a liability at that stage of development, but it made good power for an enduro bike  ;D

Pretty cool bike, those.
A mate had one years back, and it was a pretty fun thing on the rare occasions when the ignition wasn't screwed.

My 88 KTM125 felt like it was a century newer though...

Is this particular model known for a dodgey ignition? Perhaps I should just get it running and flog it off  :-\
(I just bought a 2000 Honda CR125 for $1000 from some "horsey set" people whose son bought it 3 years ago rode it three times and parked it in the garage  ;D)

Here's the CR125 I bought... total cost $1378.90
