hi all. superhondaman dont want to jump in but i wouldbe intrested in the flyer. kev

hi all, Thanks again charlie as you may have worked out i am a bit of a novice at this game ,but all the help on here is wonderfull so you may have other questions along the way !! hope you dont mind ..kev

hi all. Thanks charie. i did the mod on swing arm length by 1 inch . cut the full spingle adjuster off and had new ones profile cut plus 1 inch to the front this way no need to fill and it thought 1 weld rather than 2 would be stronger { could be wrong} but without the chain tensioner lugs. i drilled and then welded pins for snail cams. do you prefer powder coating or good old paint and laqure? kev

hi squid , cant see no reason that the 125 would not be ok on 40:1 mix but i can be corrected if wrong guys

hi charlie,thankyou for your reply but now i am confused!!!! the 2 swing arms that i have both look like the pic and measure 150mm across the inside back edge. was this a factory part or would someone have kindly widened them for me. will have to dig in the garage and see if i have a striat one. but it looks like i have saved some gas,just slipped it over a 400 back wheel and it looks to have good clearance.. thank you again for your help ... kev

hi charlie, how did you widen the cub swing arm without cutting it was thinking of doing one myself. cheers kev

hi all , 40-1 mix works well on both 175 and 250 ..kev
