Hi Marcel,
Yeh do not worry about the plug, old is still good.
The screw mount holes on the filter also needed to be altered both sides aswell. Since this bike is short term as I am taking DAS this summer. I will order your Ebay filter box with mashed screw, that has a red filter in so will fit perfectly. Bike has got to be A1 for when I sell hence all the new chrome purchases. Selling both 125s – the Virago aswell (after I fit the new rims).
Starting to look for new 250 project bike, I am going for a GV again as they are big enough to be comfortable with me being 6’4″. I intend to black out and restyle the 250 to single seat (not bobber more classic 50s) so the only provisos are that it will run and is fairly complete. I think I am developing a thing for Hyosungs.
On another note, I am going to attempt to replicate the manifolds in cast aluminim with a short silicone connector to carb. I have some long ago experience with lost foam casting and have dug out an old propane furnace and ordered green sand etc. The shorter front manifold will need a slight reshaping to allow the 45 degree twist n turn up to carb and give enough room for connector hose, but it should even the lengths of the manifolds a bit. I can 3D print them in casting wax or hand model them in foam and cast from there. If it works out I will send you up a set. It is such a shame Hyosung will not support their models with parts properly, it is the big failing with the company.
Have a good weekend.
Once again, thank you.
