as the mk3 isnt progressing as quick as i had hoped. 
i thought i would start a build with the parts i have available, so im going with a rd125lc cafe racer. with a raised back end.
im thinking of a fahron 175 conversion, custom spannie, tzr 3 sopke wheels, disks all round, single seat & custom dash.
gonna adapt some tzr yokes and also maybe go with usd forks.
this is the progress made today.
started with a 12A frame. cut off the centre stand mount (its never gonna be needed)
took a tzr top yoke
Attacked it with the hacksaw (the reason becomes evident later)
tzr wheels (Defo gonna use these)
rd125lc front forks and swinger (probly not gonna use these but ok for mocking up)
took a lenth of glass fiber tube and cut it to lenth to use as a ridgid shock. will also give me a good idea on the lenth of shock i want to go with in the end.
this is what it looks like now.
ive stuck on a standard 125 tank, will have to either modify it (big hammer) or find a different style of tank as the clip ons hit it on full lock and dont want to reduce the lock to lock distance
ive drilled through the top yoke so the clip ons can be mounted underneath (have to put left clip on on the right side)
that way they can still be bolted into the yokes
will add more as i go but this is a long term build so updates may be few and far between.
