This seems to be progressing at a reasonable pace.

Nice looking bike, wonder what they are like to own / ride / live with day to day.

I know it's destined to be a "dirt toy", but you have to ask.

I'll let you know
Ive got the speedo sorted, tyres,electrics,powdercoating,side panels ( adapted yamtz125/250 near perfect fit)
decals.
Just got to put it all together now.
Its going to be a very nice looking 'tool' when finished and I've got to use this one in the mud (shame)
I've found out that Armstrong only made 125 of this bikes ( CMX500)so they will be 'Rare' Cycle parts can taken ( in the most part) from the MT500
So this bike will fall into the rare / collectable camp as well as useable!
Why do I keep doing this

I should have bought Mattys Xr400............( when I sold the AT) Dooh
what am I like

It will look like this with lights when its finished

[magwa]

well I've done a little more and its going back together rather tan coming apart at the moment
I still haven't even started the bike up!




I'm going to take the silencer off for polishing and have a new set of Polisport side panesl to adapt and fit
Then sort out the front end!
Dooh
