Mito 443 Project
Discussion
"To qualify for a daytime MOT your bike must “have neither front nor rear position lamps, or have such lamps permanently disconnected, painted over or masked.” This applies to headlamps, position lamps and indicators. The situation with stop lamps is significantly more complicated. Machines do not need to have a stop lamp fitted if they cannot exceed 25mph, were first used before 1st January 1936 or were first used before 1st April 1986 and do not exceed 50cc. Those first used before 1st April 1986 must have a stop lamp that operates from at least one brake control and those used on or after that date must have a stop lamp operated from both brakes.
Your bike must be fitted with a rear reflector and an “audible warning device”, typically an electrical horn, which must be loud enough to be heard by another road user."
Hope that clears it up a bit.

Yazza, this one looks like its coming up for sale on the site I mentioned
As good as a site PH is, you will get much more accurate advice and guidance from the people on the RD forum who have actually done what you want to do.and then some...as well as an increased availability of (cheaper) parts.
A lot of the leading 2 stroke tuners and parts manufacturers also contribute to the board, I shall say no more!

Couldn't find a for sale section though?As good as a site PH is, you will get much more accurate advice and guidance from the people on the RD forum who have actually done what you want to do.and then some...as well as an increased availability of (cheaper) parts.

The idea really was to use what I have tbh but looks a nice project.

Just a number plate and a red rear reflector for the MOT. Then a speedo for construction and use regs.
There's plenty of RS's on fleabay with shagged motors etc and plenty of spares as well.
I've got a buckshee frame and possibly a swinger if you need them. They're only any good for mocking up mountings etc but it saves cutting a decent frame up whilst you work stuff out.
Reminds me I must find some time to sort mine out as it's still sat on the lift doing nowt.

Good point that might be useful to mockup

Buckshee - no longer accounted for/spare/etcGood point that might be useful to mockup
It's the frame I used to mock up my supermono, it's good for nothing but scrap or mocking up mounts etc as there is a nice hole in the left spar but it saves knackering a good one.
If you want it i'm from Horwich (near Bolton)

Done some research and general looking at pics, have a 'anything is do able' attitude, but I'm thinking Mito is the way forward. RS125 swing arm is completely wrong and I knew that... But was thinking I could fit a different swinger, it's more of a faff than its worth though. The mito will all work, upgrade shock and forks but structurally won't be needing to fab shock linkages and modify swingarms to fit etc so a bit leap forward straight away.
Chatting to a few people to see if I can get a rolling chassis.
For now here's some random carb bits I just dug out from under my bed
41mm Pro Series Keihin
Vforce4 block/carbon reeds
The ally manifold/rubber I had custom made to fit the vforce block and bigger carb, 41mm taper bored to 45mm where it meets the reed block. Also means a straight intake as the original was at an angle and only 36mm.
Got other bits too but not at home. trying to get myself motivated.
