So I was at Pidcock Triumph yesterday picking up my new Tiger (which will be my winter/touring bike) ...
... when this 1995 Honda VRX400 Roadster came in on the back of a van as a part ex. Completely non running, last taxed 5 years ago, and in a bit of a state. Been looking for a project over winter (and to teach myself motorcycle mechanics) and this seemed perfect ... especially as the 3 digits of the reg were my initials, "NGP" ! All for the grand sum of £200 + £20 delivered to my house ... utter bargain !
After a quick jetwash, doesn't look tooooo bad ... if you squint. From a distance.
Will be doing a separate 'restoration' thread about the bike soon. Needs lots of work, but is basically sound. First challenge is to get it started ... battery is deceased, and there's no fuel coming out of the tap when I went to drain the old fuel (though I can hear some sloshing about inside the tank).
So that makes a stable of four then ... (black Tiger on left belongs to the missus)

p.s. anyone know of a good source of spares and information for this kind of thing ?
David silver spares for buying common parts and use cmsnl.com for identifying less common parts. Hopefully it has your Honda on, it has most I think! Good luck and looking forward to the thread

New rod, small end, re-bore, big ends and a little bit of filing of the barrel and some cough, work on the head.Paul's not around at the mo..pray tell..
I've been seeing what rear shocks will fit the 125

In the picture there is a rear shock off a 125lc, a TZR 125 and a 350 LC
Can you guess which one is from what? Biggest on the right.
Im sure I read that the 125 shock is longer than the 350, so 125 far right, the middle one 350 and the smallest TZR?
