Just found a cheap 04 125 to build an AF. I know there are some good builds that have been done. Having a hard time finding one with alot of pics for references. Looked at a few, just not too sure what direction to go. Thanks. Any help is appreciated.

OK , I took a look at pstoffer's method for the Y on his Gen3 250. It is the same Y on the 125 but it has to be removed. I turned mine around to help push it further from the engine. I am going to weld the Y and the cradles first and then afterwards, weld the inner plate on the Y. Put in the new cradles and starting to set motor mounts. Once I sat for quite a bit of time, it all came together pretty quickly. Pipe, carb and tank seem like a slam dunk. Looking forward to riding this one. Pictures coming soon.

Well, the welding is complete and "Solid Bro" did another fantastic job for me. He took care of the frame, Y, coil mounts, radiator mounts and installed some of his patented radiator 90's to clean up the cooling. Now it is up to me to fab the headstay and begin assembly. Here are some pics of his work.

That's the one my son and I did last month. When a bike is this much fun to ride, you have to have one for each other otherwise we fight over who gets to ride it.
