Hello World.
I'm not going to keep making excuses, shit takes time. Moved again and with everything else, the 450 took the back seat.
I started wrenching on the 125 in order to make it reliably ridable, and it's given me a resurgence of need to finish the 450. It's gonna take time, and its...
Just a little update just to keep a record of the million year rebuild.
Had the motor cases split, checked all the internals and everything looked fine. Blasted the outside of both cases, refinished the matting surfaces, polished the races, reinstalled all the necessary components and put the...
As I was looking into this a bit further I started seeing that there were some states that required fenders. I'm currently in FL and have never seen anything about it being required. I've ridden on wet roads recently on my wifes little CB125 and its currently fenderless in the front, there was...
Makes sense. In your first photo it looks like the front fender ends in the front just slightly past where a vertical line could be drawn from the axle. It makes sense that you would want to have more coverage in the back as the water would mostly leave the tire from the back to 3/4 of the way...
I've been trying to figure out exactly what size fenders, in terms of length and width, are required in order to be both useful and minimalistic.
So, how far fore and aft of the axle do you need to have a rear fender in order to keep water spray from hitting electronics or the rider. Or same...
Getting back into this thing for the 1000th time it feels, but I need some help on the shift drum. Currently, since I've let this thing sit apart for so long in the lovely florida humidity, two of the three shift forks no longer rotate on the drum. Looking to see if anyone can give me a bit of...
Any chance that this bike is now a roller? Looking to do this to my wifes 125 and can't 100% tell how this looks since the bike is upsidedown in all the photos.
So what kind of foam did you end up going with for the seat? And how did you go about attaching the fabric to the pan? My constant question has always been whether or not you would be able to use staples for the upholstery on a glass seat pan.
Thanks for the reply, pretty sure mine is coming off as well. Awesome build by the way, always nice to see someone else going through a build on the same bike as me, provides extra knowledge and inspiration.
I've had an internal battle for a while about removing that rear fender mount on the back of my frame like you did. Have you noticed any problems with the bike after cutting it off?
Sorry to revive this post, but like I said, I've been having a mental battle with myself over this. I want to...
Alright, as with some, life got in the way of my build for a while. But after a move across country and starting my first full time job, I'm ready to get things moving again. I've been working on taking the motor back apart and getting closer to cracking the case in order to get a look at how...
IMO lloydie you didn't necessarily do anything wrong, as you were actually trying to give advice, but like they said before, its kind of believed that after about 2-3 months a thread is typically considered dead. Even if it never got a reply. For reasons like my situation where I got more info...
