Well the bike is still rattling but in the mean time Shadow rear ended a car last Friday. Wiped out an indicator bent the handlebars broke the front brake lever and added a couple of more scuffs. . She was shook up and bruised but is ok now. The new handle bars came today. So I went out to fit them only to discover what I bought was different to what was on the bike. But the bike was bought as a repaired crashed bike so I suppose I should not be surprised. The new bars fit and look much better so I think I got the right ones I also stripped out the forks to check they weren’t bent and luckily they were fine so I just cleaned every thing up and put it back together. Also cleaned up and checked the brake caliper. Repaired the crack in the mud guard. Just painting a couple of black strips on the headlight cheeks to hide the scratches. I know I would never be able to match the colour and those checks are £80 each. So disguise seemed like the best option. I have contacted a mechanic to check the rattle out to see if it can be fixed affordably.

Pissing down here to but spent the day fixing Shadows CB125F again, the job that nevers ends.

Lazy day here as it's pissing down , can't be bothered to do anything

When my boy had one it suffered a common fault with the clutch basket drive cog splitting. Was never a prob but drove me nuts to the point I had to replace it.

Could be the old spot weld come undone in the exhaust. Good hunting.
