Italjet Dragster 125

Right picked up the drag off jamie. V reg 6300kms.

the bike itself is in good condition, has a cracked mudguard and a few scratches here and there

needs a new tyre, new tyre valve, cut down the mudguard, new rear indicators and go over it for the mot.

the bike is filthy it really hasnt been washed before so i will be giving it a good old clean.

other mods im looking at:
manual fan switch
172 kit
gear up
25mm carb

etc etc you know the drill

anyway heres the beast. its booked in to get the tyre sorted tomorrow.

its nice to have a base bike that actually runs. first thing is to get it through mot.

****update 10/2/08*****
the drag has been cleaned

no lie the bike has never been washed. so much grime has come off but its getting so much cleaner

my driveway is full of dirt

anyway, had a new rear tyre fitted. seems the rear wheel is very slightly buckled. it holds air so i will see about that later

the rear disc has 2 threaded holes. i have a spare so should be digging that out on tuesday as 3 bolts isnt a good idea.

not been out onit as i still need to get it mot'd (just sorting my bank at the minute)

next weekend ricky will be helping me fit a manual fan switch to the bike. im also hoping to get some indicators and finally get round to doing the rear end.

for a 125 its pretty quick the thing seems to hesitate at first like bogging but the bike has only done about 6 miles in the last 3 years, smile emotion >

im hoping to have it on the road for a weeks time. even as a 125. once the bike has done a few miles i will then look into 172ing it or try to source a decent 180 engine

ps: i have some better pics of it as the cleaning goes on. the trouble is the sd card wont work in this computer and mine hasnt got internet so you will have to wait :lol:

***UPDATE*** 16/2/08
Thanks Ricky the fan switch is now fitted, another weight off my mind

anyway pics up at last. i still need to do more cleaning but its coming along nicely

what do you think

**UPDATE** 19/2/08

finally fitted another rear disc. at least i know the wheel wont fall off :w00t:

turns out the wheel was held on by bolts that were too short, proberly the reason for them stripping.

luckilly the disc i had stashed away had all the bolts still in imp:

Also fitted some new rear indicators, there not really flash but there much tidier now :bird:

If i dont feel like shit tomorrow i will be painting that grotty exhaust

** UPDATE ** 02/03/08

finally got rid of the massive number plate holder today. mounted the plate by the rear light so it tidys up the rear end alot

i also took the exhaust off and rubbed it down, i didnt realise how rusty it was took me a while but was worth it

sprayed the exhaust with heat paint so it looks 10 times better now

me and my mate are playing with a few spare rear huggers ive got as were trying to do afew nice ones that are cut down imp:

**UPDATE** 18/3/08

Havent updated in a while as i dont own a camera

bike has now had the plate moved and new indicators, exhaust has been painted too so looks much better now

Looking good mate always loved that colour on the drags..

for the fan switch (I need one on my aerox) do you just get the two wires on the coolant pipes at the top, remove them and put a switch in the curcuit instead?
can you put it so the fan will come on automatically aswell as manually?
cheers,
Max

hiya mate. yes thats how its done. once its manual its manual. maybe you can do a connector block and split it off with 2 wires. not sure how effective it will be. is it worth risking your bike to try imp:

.....monty
