The bike was originally started being restored by Tom "Mac"
Tom had the Frame, yokes and a few little bits were powder
coated in 2000. The "Loctite" paintwork was done by "Captain Morgan's Paint" in
2001. Stainless fasteners were fitted wherever possible.

The spares consist of:
A crank, 123cc Barrel, Head, couple of Carbs and a pair of reasonable condition side panels.
What's Next?
Well, Since getting hold of the mk3 engine as a spare, I am
undecided what to do, I may try and get hold of a YPVS servo kit and run it in
the loctite, Though the bike has a 175cc big bore kit fitted already so it will
have ample power anyway. On the other hand I like the idea of the powervalve to
get the best of both worlds, good mid range power and power thru to the red
line.
Cosmetically, I do like the mk2 125LC more than the mk1, the mk2 has a beefier,
more sporty look, whereas the mk1 looks rather dated in comparison. So in time I
may fit the mk2 forks and wheels set up. Though fitting mk2 clocks is going to
be on my list of things to do.

agreed to send updates in 2005)
