And I say most bikes, because not all bikes with headlights are street legal and therefore aren't required to have the headlight on at all times. There are also quite a few 40+ year old bikes still on the road. |

Good news! The amazing guys at Kronik Racing (Pete in specific) is going to get me a set of pegs as soon as he can. Another plug for this amazing little shop, highly recommend dealing with them if you can for your Boomcat bike.

Bike is up and running but the swingarm bent after about 4 miles. I was pulling away from a stop, I let the clutch out, shifted to second gear, and felt the back of the bike shift rightward while hearing the chain come off of the rear sprocket. I freewheeled into the parking lane once I got through the intersection and saw the damage. Will try to get pics soon but really not looking forward to dealing with this one. The bike ran well and drove well too. I guess it's the territory with a $1000 Chinese motorcycle.

Hey rlich8 - did you ever get that swing arm issue fixed? photos of the damage? would an S90 swing-arm fit? many on ebay.

Cafe racer seat
Hi, I had my BD 125 cafe bike for about a month, and love it so far. I’m looking into changing the seat to a more retro brown look. My first attempt was not perfect, probably due to the gas tank being off set from the center. Anyone change their seat with good results? Looking for suggestions on where to get one without too many modifications.
Thank you. |

I was looking into this and I so far only found that bikeseatfactory.com sells honda s90 seats which is what this bike is a clone of. They're really expensive and I don't see any brown ones so I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Let's keep looking and see what we can come up with! maybe we can ask around on the cafe racer FB groups or forums? |

These are the ones I upgraded to. I don’t remember what the original tooth counts were.

rear rack
hi i was wondering if anyone had found a rear rack that would fit the BD125-2?
I was thinking of buying a rack that would fit on a cl 70 and maybe that would work for the BD125-2 |

So I dropped an order for one of these. My intention is to put an upsweep exhaust and shinko dual sport tires. I would really like to find a silver tank and fenders.
Does anyone know the larges shinko 241's that will fit ? 2.5, 2.75, or 3.0 Thanks, Chris |
