Think how its going to be used in the long run, a 125cc/6v isnt ideal or safe to use often on modern roads IMO

and stick to reputable dealers, avoid shiny tat off ebay or whatever.
Personally I use MB or failing that Scootopia or Lee Chiggy Chambers.

An observation mate looks like earlier forks looking at the welded on cable guide, why have they been changed in the past i wonder ? Before you paint it i would make sure the frames straight ............................and stick with 6v , just get flywheel remagnetized for good lights again

Well I dropped most of the parts off at RPA Engineering in Bristol for blasting yesterday and also a few bits have gone to S&T Electroplate to be chromed (horn cover, brake pedal, rear light surround & rear name plate surround), so it finally feels like things are starting to progress now. Just need to find someone to do the paintwork now
