Sweet bike Randy, those shocks bring a bucket full of money these days.

I'm with you Larry, especially the 125. Never could get them to make any power, high or low end. Tried Lectrons, fiddling with the timing, all to no avail. It's like they just didn't want to breathe. Had a 2 day rider by the shop in the late 70's desperate to make his run right. The Lectron helped a smidge, but it just would not rev, almost like either the air box or exhaust was half plugged up.

In 78 I switched to a Husky and never looked back...

Thats the way this bike is running, the Lectron helped but its definitely anemic.
