Fat man on a little bike
Not sure if this is the perfect spot for this, but oh well.
Long story short, I have a cm250 engine, suspension, and wheels looking for a frame to live in. I've been cruising craigslist and eBay for a frame, and started looking for older twinstar (185/200) frames since the bottom ends of the engines are supposed to be the same. I found a 185 frame and noticed that it looks EXACTLY like my CB125 frame. I'm curious if the mounting holes are in the same spots. If so, I should theoretically be able to use any CB, CL, or XL frame between 100 and 185cc which would greatly expand my frame options. Especially since there is a 185 roller not far from me for a deal.
The only issue I can see would be with chain alignment, but that's something that offset sprockets could fix.
If anyone has a cm engine or frame they could measure the mounting holes on for me I'd appreciate it. Mine is down in California at my school storage unit, so I wouldn't be able to check it for a couple weeks. I'm going to take measurements on my CB125 frame the best I can without dropping the motor.
If anyone has experience with this or is willing to take some measurements please respond!
