SCORE.

Looks good to me. I would give it a good scrubbing and tlc and come up with an original tank. Good mechanics pass through this board and know these things inside and out. They will gladly help you out with any issues and Paul has about anything you need parts wise. I like it!

Posted on Mark's Swapmeet FB page. Not mine. Thought someone here might be interested...

"bogging going up long steep hills". Remember you are on a 125. It will probably lose some rpm.

What bobwhitman said. Will give you a little more wheelbase and Paul can set you up with some shocks that will balance out the rear to match the forks. Go for it!

I see an awesome start to a project here. Great start already with the forks. Throw an 03 swing arm at it, doll it up the way you want it to look and ride on....

Awesome report. Rode a mixed moto once against mostly 250s on my 98 Rat. Passed up to 3rd before the transmission crapped out and pissed some guys off. Good ride for you!

Bike sounds great. What are you using for a pipe?

Thanks.

Did Greg Watkins bring the Harry Taylor/Maico fork bike this year? Would like a picture of it....

Cool story. There are some great mechanics here willing to help you out and Paul has the parts. I will enjoy watching this one come together.

Never been around the man but I bet he's a hoot. Have fun!

Was the "old guy" wearing blue coveralls?

Please check your Motion Pro throttle out very carefully. I bought one a few years back that was really cheesey (I didn't even install it) and I've heard tons of horror stories about them sticking since.

I passed Craig Hayes on the way home from work on I57 today as he went through my neck of the woods. Made me wish I could do it again. Have fun guys!

Nice.

Diggin' the 03 project Kelly!

Pictures or a formal protest will be filed.....

OMG that thing is cherry! Lots of good advice already given. Clean it up, but I wouldn't "restore" it.

Yes it was a LITTLE muddy in 08....

LOL! That's right!

Watched a guy fix a holed case on a Husky "back in the day" with a piece of chewing gum and it lasted 50-60 miles to the end of the ride....

You gotta do it at least once. Great party (and a race too!)
