This is the walk around video of the #broketobuilt 1989 KX125. This bike was a top 16 in the 2022 contest. This video is with the Jeff Emig inspired accents.
I'm an older guy and I remember these bikes from back in the day so I can really appreciate the work you did on this bike. The attention to detail is over the top.
Hey Jimmy, great build. I'm currently doing a 87 myself and having a little trouble with the rear wheel set up. Can you remember which spacer goes on what side as they are different sizes. Cheers John.
I raced an 88 version of that bike, your might have a 19" rear hoop, mine had the 18" hoop. I remember that bike can shoot you up into the air if you aint careful, LOL! The engine had some really nice power and the turning was great. It was a fun bike to ride. Yours is cherry!
Excellent job..can you give details or make a video on your process of restoring plastic gas tanks? I’m curious about the final stage of buffing mainly. I understand about going from heavy to light grit. Just haven’t found a way to really polish plastic without having the fine scratches even at 2500 grit.
There is a fantastic RU-vid video from my good friend Cameron niemela regardingplastic restoration. Search his channel for it. He posted it not long ago. I still struggle myself with fine scratches
You are missing the rear brake master cylinder green plastic cover. I can't find a photo of it online, but if you want I can probably send you a pic of mine.
Did you rebuild the front forks? I'm at the moment of doing that and stuck in mid process, I can't find a fork cylinder holder. I can't remove bottom 14mm hex nut.
