Rd 125 LC

#1 PostAuthor: Robw » Sun Oct 23, 2011 6:44 pm

Hopefully I won't get excommunicated for my next project. I have had a RD 125 lc stripped down for about 10 years with parts in the greenhouse and garden shed. It was originally bought for my son when he was 9, he is now 19, as a replacement for Lego models. Other projects got in the way and also a lack of space in the garage, since the garage has now been extended I now have the space to rebulid it.
So, I have spent the weekend, hunting for parts and seeing what I need, the list is long and expensive. It was a real heap when I got it, luckily I have been accumulating a few parts over the last couple of years such as a paint set and other spares.
If anyone has any spares for a MK1 lc especially an engine and wants to own up to it, I could do with help.
I will post photos tomorrow.
Cheers Rob

I've been looking for a H**** MBX125 so I could relive my youth. One came up on Ebay a couple of weeks ago exactly the same as mine was in 1985 and sold for £1550 :shock:

Mine cost me £928 brand spanking new complete with a helmet thrown in, in 1984. Amazing how much it costs to relive your youth nowadays :??
