First crash and the bits that do their job.

[Clancy oto]

First time the WeeTee 125 has had a little rest on her right hand side. Steep muddy decent. Stock front tire washed out. Low speed so no biggie. Hosed the mud off, lightened the right mirror. Good as new. Headlight guard paid for its self. Crash bars seemed to work. Stood her up and on with the camping trip.
This this is a wonderful bit of kit. Joyous camping/exploring side kick. Think we’re going to be great friends.

New rubber to come me thinks.
Hope ya all well wherever you are.

Great looking bike, I especially like the Post decals and your fuel bottle rigging.

 

[fmdualexhaust]

Really like that color.
Yes, front tire does not like mud.
I replaced with Kendas. Much better but still not great.
Have fun.

Thanks guys.

Have order some Vee Rubber vm022 (I think that’s what they are called). 2.75 front and 3.00 rear should help. Very cheep here in Oz.

Yup, the Australia post stickers are a must have

The fuel container idea came from Ride with Warro. Another 100km + just sitting there. Fits perfectly on the centre rack.

@Clancy oto where'd you get the Australia Post stickers from? I'll be down under in a few days & wouldn't mind picking some up before I boomerang back.

Nice bike. The expedition 134 boxes are a great addition!

Just from eBay I think. It was a while ago while working nightshift. Can’t be accountable for any decisions in that state of mind. I’ll find the link.

You have no idea how long I’ve been searching for this image mate. I think I saw it a year or so ago and was keen on this box. Did you have a pic with it matching your troopy? Took me ages to find the brand. Many nights googling any combo of ‘ct125, box, expedition 134, troopy’. Knew i’d find it somewhere. Box seems good so far. Thanks for the inspiration!

Yes that's the one. Got lucky and found a 2nd hand barely used CT125 on gumtree 3hrs away. My sister was heading that way the next day, so she picked it up for me. Just happened to match her car and the Exp134 box.

How does it go with the box mounted that way? Mine's not registered, so have just been using it around the property, and strap it on when needed. Will get it registered soon to commute and camp with, so will need to install it permanently. Can't have it oriented like in my pic and all the way forward as it's too close to seat. Will have to do the same as you, or keep my orientation and push it back and over hang a little. Planning to put a thin layer of foam between rack and box, and 3mm sheet of aluminium inside box to spread the load from the bolts. Is that what you did?

 

[Clancy oto]

Yeah pretty much.
I put some ply in the bottom to spread the load. Waiting on some rubber in the mail for underneath. Works great so far. Made some dividers to stop things sliding around and some elasticated cord on the lid. Mounted a little way back and can fit my tent as back rest. Fits flush with the back of the rack.

Brilliant, I’m buying one right now. Got to be my first addition. Looks like the engine guard is probably something I will need to pick up as well…
