A little more info.......when I started to pull the motor down, I found that the little shit that I got it off, had taken the CR ignition, CDI and coil out.
....anyway thats not a real drama, it just would have been interesting to see if it worked.
What these clowns have done is heated the front downtube and pulled it forward about 60 mm, but it didnt bend at the heat, it kinked the front of the tube
THey have also cut the lower cradle tubes to let the front downtube move forward and just welded some pieces of scrap in to fill the space......being a chromemoly frame I'd hate to think what these infills were made of........I'm starting to take this as a personal challenge that I can still salvage this abortion.......time will tell like........stay tuned

P.S. It WAS an '84 125 :'(
