- Front brake (disc) CALIPER - Tacho lights - kickstarter - Headlight Am looking for all of these but most important are the tacho lights since these are a a pain to come by.

So I am rebuilding my CB125J and getting VERY close to the end until I noticed my old steering stem doesn't fit my new suspension set. Wrapping my head around how this would be possible (cold weather??) I finally decided to measure and saw that my new forks are considerably bigger than the old...

Thanks! I'll get the SL 125 ones

Does anyone know what they did to put the paint on the frame? It's barely coming off with my air-compressed sand blaster and paint removal spray is only doing as much as is chemically possible. It feels as if it's 8 coats of spray paint and 6 coats of clear coat. Anyway, suspension is ready to...

The wheels won't be factory standard quality. I thought about plasti dipping them over the chrome, just out of laziness. But then again, I want to ride it first and then replace the spokes afterwards when the budget allows for it. The chrome is almost completely new on the rim itself, the spokes...

Yea, I just expected it to go a lot faster. But then again, the bike was too far gone for a quick rebuild... Any tips on getting the spokes clean? ;)

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO the engine. I received some criticism here for cracking open the crankcases. I thought, for such an old bike and for my own understanding of how the bike works, that it would be a good idea. This is what I found - Knock pins were gone - Cam shaft was gone - Valves were gone...

Cb500 needs a wash Sent from my Wileyfox Swift using DO THE TON mobile app

Check your swing arm. Looks like the most logic issue here if all the rest is rebuilt to stock. Sent from my Wileyfox Swift using DO THE TON mobile app

Re: The moment you realise.... Looks stunning, could be the darker light but helll i'd love to ride that.

I'm at wits end with my CB125s. It's a two piece head model from 1976 tot 1979. It has a camshaft number of 14101383000. I've called CMSNL, they don't have a cam for this model in stock. They offered me to order part number 14101384000, which is a camshaft for the one piece head model. Won't...

Calling it half assed is rude and totally uncalled for. There could be a variety of reasons to do it this way. Time and money could be those reasons. If theres no budget, dont do it. Simple as that. As long as the customer knows the downsides of a tight budget it is fine Sent from my Wileyfox...
