John, congrats on your SL125 K1 restoration. Im impressed that you took apart the engine and got it running. Thats the one thing I didnt do. What did you use to compress the valve springs or didnt you take the head apart? There is a guy I use that can take the dents out of the fuel tank and paint it like brand new and put on decals for you if interested. Will cost you about $400 USD plus SH. As for the side covers and tail light, those can be found too.
@AV8R lol, just sent you a message then found this :) I didn't take the head apart. I need to respray the tank. I half did it but then rushed the last bit and ruined it :( The colour isn't exactly right but I simply didn't have the money for a professional job and paint. I have the Honda decals but I really do need the red stripes for the tank and also the side covers. I have the left, although its not perfect but a spray would do. I have the original tail light but I bought a new one...
@AV8R ... I wanted something smaller and not as tall. When I post a new vid you can see or I can email you some other pics. I'm in the UK so finding the decals and side covers is a real pain. I plan to use her for country lane riding and also some trail riding.
Did you know you can get decals for your gas tank (sorry petrol)?
They show up on Ebay Motors under the Honda motorcycle parts.
