The bike has come together at last.

It started on the 3rd push of the button and sounds great.

I am still  mirrors missing and a small panel near the side stand, but I will buy new if I can't get them off the previous owner.

Below is the latest picture. I will give it a polish and put it in the shop Tomorrow.

LATEST:  New panel and mirrors are now fitted and the bike is now for sale :)

Finished the wiring and Switched on  the ignition  The clocks show the bike has only done 2 miles!!!!!!

Side stand, number plate holder, rear indicators, top fairing/headlamps and horn etc all fitted.

Exhaust, petrol tank and get running is next.

Wheels and engine and a few other bits fitted.

Everything gets some "Wurth anti corrosion spray" as I fit it. 

Wiring harness going on: I can't remember that many wires when I stripped it! 

We have a 2008 Yamaha YZF-R125 with less than 30 miles on the clock!

The bike was bought new in 2008 with the intention of making a 125cc track bike, the owner never finished the project and we have bought it with the intention of preparing it for the road again, then offering it for sale.

He rode the motorcycle from the shop and round the block then stripped it down. He has had the rear subframe removed and a new smaller one, to fit a race seat, welded on.

He also removed all the unwanted lugs and brackets. The Yamaha has the been dry stored since.

We have now bought another YZF-R125, 2008 bike, that the owner has slid off and damaged most of the plastics and exhaust, footrest etc. We will strip both bikes to build ourselves an almost new one. 

I have stripped the bike for the good unmolested frame and will rebuild it with all the parts off the bike that has done less than 30 miles.

The pictures below show the modified frame (with race seat and tank on the floor) and the progress so far with the new frame, at this stage all I have done is strip it to the bare frame, jet wash the frame clean and fit some new steering head bearings.
