Thought you might be interested in Hindall stuff. I know nothing about it as the powerplant is built on the wrong continent, while both the kicker and drive are on the wrong sides.LOL Have no idea what the exchange rate is etc.. So, if it's out of line my apologies. Be well, James

Welcome back James Out of line? Never. ;)
For something so rare, there sure has been a lot of Hindall action lately. This is a great little bike and is actually the first 125 Hindall I've ever seen. I'm not really into 125's but I'd be thinking about bidding on this little gem if I wasn't already comitted to my equally obscure Trackmaster Yamaha 125, that's currently tucked away behind the Mercedes Benzes in Tony T's shed.

For anyone feeling the urgent need to become a member of the Hindall brotherhood this is a good little starter. ;D

Freaky, you're really going to have to read the posts properly before replying ;D
Here's what the seller wrote about the front end....-Front end is Yamaha MX360.  Forks have been fully worked over by Race Tech (anodized internals of lowers, Race Tech Emulators installed, new seals, and springs).  To me that's a pretty serious set of forks. All that Race Tech stuff adds up to $350+ just for the emulators without anodizing, seals and springs and the initial value of the forks ($100-200). The bloke could easily have $800 in them  ;).
