    Angle Iron Replaces Original Tool Box/Side Rack Mounting Tabs

    Last Spring, I posted a thread about mounting a plastic ammo box on a side rack to carry all my flat tire fix supplies. After 80 miles off-road this Fall in Big Bend National Park, the mounting tabs broke off the original luggage rack, causing the ammo box and the original little toolbox to...

    Nice Affordable Handlebar Risers

    I found a set of 20mm handlebar risers on eBay for $17.84 plus tax that work very well. I am 5 foot 11, and found the handlebars a little too low for daily riding on road and standing off road. These make both a lot more comfortable. They come with the riser inserts and longer bolts. You can...

    In Praise of the LED Headlight (Not!)

    So I rode the 10 miles into town yesterday afternoon and ended up staying a lot longer than I thought I would. Coming home in the dark, I was disappointed at how poor that headlight really is. Now granted, my eyes are 64 years old and not as good as they used to be, but I have a couple other...

    Cruising RPM Question

    For all you riders who have installed an aftermarket tachometer, what rpm are you running when the speedometer shows 50 mph? Does anyone know how that's affected by a 13 tooth front sprocket? Thanks!

    What happened to the flashing ABS light?

    When I first got my Trail 125, the ABS light began to flash occasionally on rides. Didn't matter whether I went very fast or slowly, sometimes it would just come on. Shutting off the bike and restarting always stopped the light from flashing. It has always come on when I start the bike and goes...

    Better than a Kawasaki KLX250S?

    Like many on the forum, I've accumulated several bikes over the years and sell anything that doesn't get ridden very often. When I bought my Trail 125 in February, I sold my 2012 Kawasaki KLX 250S to pay for it. That bike benefited from a number of performance and convenience accessories...

    Exceptional Seller, Nice Pipe Guard

    If you stare at very many pictures of accessorized CT 125s, you'll eventually notice that many riders add an exhaust pipe guard. I found this one on eBay for $75 shipped straight from China. When the seller's carrier said it was delivered, I never got it. And the seller could not provide a USPS...

    Amazing Discovery! Bar End Weights

    For all of you who have already replaced your grips, you know that those nice little black bar ends are attached to long anti-vibration handlebar weights. I truly should've known, but I had not done much fiddling in the handlebar area and only discovered them when it was time to put on a...

    How do you rate your bike before and after mods?

    Curious to hear from all the bike modification junkies out there. Looking for two percentage ratings: how you would rate it when it was box stock, and how you would rate it now after your mods? When I first got mine, I would rate it at about a 60%. Main complaints were very soft suspension and...

    Side Rack Ammo Box

    I picked up a small, flat side rack recently from fellow member Stopper and went to my local sporting goods store to pick up a plastic ammo box for mounting. The box itself is the small 30 caliber Plano model and cost me about seven dollars. I used 40 mm long 6 mm bolt studs with fender washers...

    Chain Adjuster Locknuts

    Took a nice 70 mile ride yesterday with about 50 of it on the highway. When I got home, I noticed that both of the locknuts on my chain adjusters had backed off a half inch. Now I know I tightened those darn things the last time I adjusted the chain, but it's not uncommon when the threads are...

    World's Easiest and Cheapest Mod!

    Guess what's missing! Yes, that's right, the cornering bolt, feeler, or whatever that thing is called. These were put on bikes beginning in the 70s so you knew when you were getting close to the cornering limit of the bike. But just between you and me, I'm never going to lean it over that far...

    Quiet or Loud?

    Is it just me, or is there anyone else who really appreciates how quiet the Trail 125 is? I know a number of folks on the forum really appreciate their aftermarket exhaust systems. More power to ya! Literally. But I'll sacrifice a little power for a bit more peace and quiet.

    Heel and Toe Shifter Advantages

    Heel and toe shifters form a great dividing line amongst Trail 125 riders. Do you re-mount them up one spline or down one spline? Do you get out the hacksaw to cut off the heel portion? Do you find another shifter entirely that fits both the spline and your foot size and leave the old heel and...

    Most Annoying Feature

    The turn signal switch. Every other bike I've ridden has the horn at the bottom, and the turn signal above it. Stick your thumb straight towards the center and there's the switch. Except of course, on the Trail 125. I keep hitting the horn expecting it to be a turn signal switch. Oh well, I'll...

    Large rider fixes for the front and rear suspension

    I got my Trail 125 four weeks ago, and was pleased with most everything but the suspension. With my 220 pounds, the forks were riding halfway down in their travel and they bottomed at the slightest provocation. Pretty much the same for the rear shocks. I began with a zero cost solution I...
