125L is the shit
my 12 bar was 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch solid steel square bars welded down the sides all the way down to the gas tank (you wont be running the tail or number plates) with a scrape bar of 1 inch by 1/2 inch. the welder (just some local guy) put a cross bar closer to the sub frame for support as well as a cross bar (only on the non muffler side) from mid way between the scrape bar and subframe, to the actual subframes own vertical support bar that leads down to the foot peg. give me a sec ill get you a photo. Worked great and never had an issue. metal dimensions are up to you of course, but i was like 15 and had no idea what was good or bad

btw remove the air box and let the carb run open, oil will get in and bog like hell otherwise, let the cranck case hose just stay open and zip tie it so it doesnt flop around, the idle holds well enough, street tires were a bitch to find but do-able
i never did a hb, but to operate idle i just srewed in the adjuster on the left side of the carb, not enough to where it actually holds idle or else without a hb you cant do seat standers or anything, but if you do it a little and lift the choke up as if your starting the bike, idle is great.
