And you will also find that quite a few GPZ305 parts cross over to the early AR125 too like sidestand switch, speedo cable, clock casings, rev counter and cable, frame bungs, panel rubbers etc Which is useful.

In fact if you want a 120mph speedo (std is 90mph) in your early AR125 the GPZ305 clocks a straight swap and works fine with AR front wheel drive gear.

Fits right behind the belly pan, was nowhere else to put it. Things are in the strangest places on these bikes, haha!

Nice work Doug, coming along nicely.

If you get one be prepared for a more relaxed riding position, as it's more upright than a KR1/KR1S.

True that. But that changes if you fit a set of clip-ons below the top yoke. 8)
