Why is it that quite a high percentage of RD125LCs have a saggy arse ?. I.e. the tail section doesn't continue the line/angle of the side panel and looks like it's drooping down . You can also see it at the gap where the side panel and tail section meet where you can see they don't line up straight ?. You also normally have a gap at the back of the seat between the seat and the tail section. When it's right there is pretty much no gap at the back of the seat. Even looking at the lovely two that were recently in Practical Sports bike, the blue bike looks spot-on and the white one has a badly saggy arse. Mine was exactly the same when I bought it but I've sorted it now as you can see below. There didn't seem to be anything bent or out of shape but it's a right royal pain to sort . You have to get the sub-frame rails at exactly the correct angle, then also the bracket holes for the grap-rail/tail section exactly at the correct angles and position or it just won't look right ;D Wots the crack ?.

somebody heavy been sat on the back? lol... The rear section unbolts, has the bike been dropped / damaged, could have a look at this and see if it needs modding / repairing- Not sure if that would help any... The top pic looks bad but the bottom one doesnt look bad to be fair. Heres what mine looks like-

It's nothing to do with that rear section that unbolts as that just holds the indicators and rear light and is the grab rail etc. When you look at the sub-frame, the structural part that is braced (takes the weight of rider and pillion) ends just after the loop that runs up and over. After that it's purely cosmetic and doesn't take any weight or have much strength. It's spot-on in the bottom picture you cheeky bugger.... ;D ;D
