125LC restoration

[aaron]

OK just finished a 1981 Candy Blue 250LC and saw this 125LC on Gumtree "Belfast" late on Friday night so dragged my mate with me for a look. The Guy was looking £1000 for it and I managed to get it for £660.00. So I am going to fully restore it. Was it worth the money?? Anyone know what MK it is 1,2 or 3 its 1981 (the same as my 250LC) and its be imported from Czech Republic.

Front brake didn't work when I got it so striped the brakes apart through a new pot on cleaned the pipes and reservoir out and put new fluid in and after an hour of bleeding it works great..

Starts with one kick and runs great so don't think it is worth stripping the engine.

Not much wrong with it just a few bits of rust in the usual places.

That's a mk 1, you can tell by the wheels, clocks, clutch casing just to name a few bits!

Yes I think I probably have the RD bug!! But to late I already have 7 bikes from a 2009 R1200GS to a 1984 VF750. But the RD was always the bike I wanted when I was a child... 350lc next!
