Hi all,

Have recently got my hands on a little 125 trailie. I bought it as a bit of a project, and the previous owner only used it as a field bike, and for some reason ripped off all the lights and the battery.

Im away for the next week or so, and when I get back will go find a mechanic/MOT place, but any ideas in the mean time so I can start looking at bits I need to get hold of?

Cheers, Sam

Off-road type bikes don't have to have indicators.

Don't need indicators as long as they don't have pillion pegs.

Here is a link to the motorcycle MOT requirements which may help you work out what you need.

Depending on how much of a field bike it is I would suggest costing ALL the parts from breakers, Ebay etc before you spend any money at all, as you could end up spending more than you would to buy a complete bike with an MOT.

Did you get a registration document with it? If not get the frame / engine numbers checked before you spend any money as well!
