Evening people, in the proccess of re assembling my 159 after a slight resto back to standard and really atuck on what bars to opt for? What height and make of bar do people opt for? Thanks in advance

just got back from Daytona. Manage to see a coulle of astros race in vintage class at volusia speedway. And then thia at daytona speedway. Lovely bits of kit

Good to know ?

A good Laquer will sort that issue you positive soul ?

Had my shedworks tank cover delivered today. Lovely bit of kit and a bargain in my eyes. Very recommended ?

Yeh i read up on that on here Nick, and TBH i thought that was what had been done. But piston is a lot bigger than the suzuki one they used. Ah well, ill out it back together and see how she goes ?

Haven't got a photo of ports to hand, but assuming they have been tickled just to match port timing as it has a different piston in it. Plus I don't have anything to compare it to ? Have you seen one running a 69mm piston before then with a liner that big? Im under the understanding a standard 125 runs a 54mm and a 200 (156) runs a 64mm. And they run with a head gasket. Where does it look like its been leaking? Its all very dirty at the minute and just how i Picked it up.

Hi guys, new on the forum. After a few years of tinkering with twinshocks i have managed to get myself a fantic tx250 project. I am aware these are a 125, and the bike was purchased from a friend in pieces. I have taken some measurments from the engine today and noticed that it seems to have had some real nice work done. The Barrel has had a liner fitted with a copper spacer on the bottom , it is running a 69mm piston with two rings. It also appears to have been fully ported and is running a 25mm Amal carburettor. Using the piston measurments and stroke this should bring the bike out at 196cc. It also doesnt run a headgasket as the liner and head have been machined so it doesnt have to. Pictures attached. Any one know who done these mods as i cant find anything about a tx250 running this size piston online. Thanks in advance
