China is great for parts, I mean you have to make your mind up on quality when the part arrives but usually they are fine, I just got a tail tidy for my Scrambler for £26, the nearest UK price was £88, anyway Pete your bike looks great, greater than the sum of its parts in fact 👍

Thanks very much. Couldn't believe it. I actually won something for the first time in my life. As for the little 125, it was running terrible so I decided to take the engine out and strip it down, well the top end was all I needed to strip to find the problem. Part of one of the pistons was broke off and on both pistons the bottom oil rings were missing. It's amazing the bike ran at all. Anyway, fitted new barrels, pistons, rings and stem seals. Replaced the gaskets and now it runs great.

Just to let everyone who was interested in this thread know, I sold the little bike on ebay this week. Didn't want to let it go but I wasn't using it and I needed the space for a new project. Thanks to all those who helped me out.... Pete
