It's looking good and running good after semi-tuning the new Mikuni. I'm ready to ride!! Soon as it gets a bit warmer ;-)

Oh and I had to get a new $80 intake manifold. The old one was original and cracked pretty bad :lol:

Changed to a 12 tooth front sprocket to pull that big 460 rear tire. Yeah I know it's a bit big but I'm just going to trail ride it. Dang think is scary fast in the yard :shock: Went with a 330 main jet instead of the 260 that came with the new carb. Still fiddling with the needle position and playing with that old trapp muffler :D . Hope y'all are having fun...

I know where a sweet original 79 CR125 is for $800. It is in excellent shape. Only catch is the motor is stuck. I may try to buy it anyway.
