Sounds like me!, never ever won anything, so I stopped trying!

Koso Mini 3 fuel gauge and oil pressure gauge.

If it's never going to see a field etc, why did you buy a dirt bike?

My love for the Fantic Caballero goes back along way, check out this topic.

Thanks, still not sure if I like the headlight though!

Here's some recent pics of my DOHC Carballero

Hi Dave. Is there a reason you print on white rather than transparent vinyl? OK for something that has a white backbround but if I do this I'd want transparent.


Not really, just seems that I want white as the background when designing a sticker. Ink seems to soak into matt better and gives ...

No problem, quite easy really just need the materials ready upfront.

Put this guide together to help you make your own stickers.

Here's all the Fantic stickers I've made as a single collection, please feel free to use as you wish

Used some JB to fill-in some license plate light holes that I drilled incorrectly in a tail tidy. Can't see them now but there somewhere in the red circled area.

Put this info together just in case there's someone who wants to test or play around with Idle Stepper Motors.

Here's another project using JB, not bike related but since no one else has any examples I thought it might keep the topic going for a while. The lions head had a hole at the back of the mouth for a water spout which I wasn't using so decided to make a tongue moulded using JB, some soft ally mesh ...

Makes me wonder why I started modifying it!

I doubt it, I'm looking at road tyres now!

I think the early 125 used a Yamaha engine so would imagine it was very relable and I seem to remember that early ones were also carbureted. Basically same frame as the 500. I use Haines for Fantic spares, friendly staff, good prices quick delivery and can source unlisted parts, just give them the ...

All running fine at the moment, setup has been done using throttle position and air fuel ratio so far but yes eventually I need to get it on the dyno but none local I'm afraid!.

Put this archive of mods together a while back if anyone's interested. I am currently putting together a new archive documenting the recent mods which I'll post soon.

Just in case anybody doesn't know what JB Weld is, here's a Ebay link.

Lets keep this topic going!. Anybody got any more examples, I don't have anything else in the pipeline at the moment.

Just added an extension to the CDI port so that I don't have to remove the seat each time that I need to access it. This is what I did.

Used some JB in my latest project which now enables me to access the CDI port without removing the seat.
