I thought I was getting a steal on some supposed dirty/old VM 32 Mikunis of evilbay for 34$ plus shipping. Now that I'm breaking them down and cleaning them I've realized there's no choke system. After doing a little research they seem the same as the models with a plunger system however the...

Do I need a 6v regulator for my cb125s? I'm currently not upgrading to 12v and I dont plan on running signals only head/tail light. Also will a a couple 16 gauge wires ran in parallel suffice as the main ground from battery or do I need to purchase a thicker ground wire?

Alright now after installing my new clean points I am having new problems. Is the coil uni directional? When I have power coming in through the black wire and coming out of the blue wire into the condensor/points I am blowing fuses as soon as i flip the power switch. If I disconnect the...

As far as I thought i was ready to set the points gap and timing then try and kick over my cb12s project. Of course there would be another issue right before hearing it run. I believed I had a strong understanding of the ignition wiring as I had been succesful wiring two cb350's before this...

Thanks for the quick reply Dirty, Sadly that OEM carb I posted off of the 1980 has a stuck slide so I dont think I wanna fool with it. What is the best way to tell if I'm dealing with a legit Mikuni and not a knock-off. The one I'm thinking is the real deal but not sure is...

I snagged a 1975 cb125s today for cheap but for good reason. The bike is in good condition aside from missing pieces here and there such as a gas tank, foot peg mount, points cover, and kickstarter -all which I feel I can replace easily enough. The issue is that the Keihin 22 stock carb is...

Hey all, I believe this may be self-explanatory but I haven't been able to find much info on it so I thought I would throw it out to the pros before I electrocute myself or worse- fry all the electronics on my bike. I fought with my charging system for a few months and after the easy upgrades...

Are cl350 forks the same diameter as cb350?

Thanks again barnburner. This is exactly what I needed. I've been able to find the mount on ebay so in a week or so I'll post some images of the finished job.

Thanks for the quick reply BarnBurner ! After looking through images with a better idea of where the mounts are connected I have run into another issue. In some years the cl headers look as if they are mounted to the airbox cover? But I do see where the mufflers are mounted behind the spring...

Hello DTT! This is my first post however I am certainly not new to this forum. I have learned an incredible amount thanks to you diligent members and hopefully will learn a little more after this. 6 months ago I purchased a 1970 cb350k2. After the basics - carb rebuilds, gas tank rust...
