ST125 UPDATE

It's 99% complete after nearly 3 years of intermittent fettling and fiddling in between chemo and radiotherapy sessions so I thought I'd prove I'm still around with a pic of the new chainguard I've made.
I cobbled it together from a piece of scrap aluminium sheet as the original ST70 guard wouldn't fit properly over the rear end of the Lifan 125 gearbox casing. Using a profile gauge I pencilled in the outline of the curves onto a cardboard template which I then drew onto the aluminium and cut it out on my bandsaw. Drilling the holes in the right place for the lower securing bolts was tricky so I ground down the heads of a couple of 6mm x 30mm bolts to a sharp point and screwed the other ends tightly into the holes in the gearbox casing. Offering up the chainguard (before it was sprayed) I gave the aluminium a sharp whack to make a couple of indentations on the inside surface which gave a nice clear indication where to drill the 6mm holes in exactly the right place. Adrian at 00Racing popped a couple of matching hex chrome bolts on the mail and hey presto - job done.
All I have to do now is try and get fit enough to ride the thing after the next bout of chemo and radiotherapy treatment which starts Thursday.
Hope you all have a good riding season and stay upright!

Glad to read you aren't giving up on things.
All the best and keep your head and spirits high!

Hi Brian,

Bikes looking good, about time you took the plastic of the seat cover
Get some stickers on it too.

Hopefully we can go for a spin when the weather gets a bit better.
Catch up soon

Best,
