First some history. As a teenager in the 1960s wrenching at the local Honda shop my bedroom wall was plastered with clippings from Cycle World Magazine of Honda's many race victories of the day. Soon Honda offered their 50cc CR110 and 125cc CR93 production racing bikes to the public and I got to...

I've listed a brand new pair of Hagons on ebay here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/302325666055? They are 320mm eye to eye, with 12mm bushings x 19mm wide. Springs are 78#, intended for a smaller bike. I bought them for a '75 Honda CB125S, but they are just a bit too long so I'm selling. Opening...

Back in 1976 I was wrenching at a Honda shop in Davis, California and a '75 CB400F came in for its second crash repair with only 1,200 miles on the clock. The rider was a reckless kid and his parents wisely pressed to sell the bike back to the shop to save their son from himself. Bayard, a good...

I know this has been discussed some here before but wanted to share my experience with a recent conversion. All my life I've had spoked wheels and tubed tires, and done roadside repairs with patch kits, spare tubes and tire irons. So now that I have a Honda GB500 with no center stand and DID...

I recently bought the Harbor Freight motorcycle tire attachment #60810 which mounts to the Harbor Freight "manual tire changer #69686" and thought I would share my experience with making it actually work. I've always just used tire irons even for car tires but now that I have a bike with alloy...

After days of rain and fog the sun came out and dried the roads today. So with 75 deg air I had to take my just acquired and refurbed GB500 for a spin. I'm loving this big single, there is something so basic about a single cylinder motor propelling you down the road. And the sudden switch in...

Well I'm feeling a bit over privileged here. I scored a 1990 GB500 w/10,700 miles on eBay about 5 weeks ago. Delivery was finally set for this past Sunday, but just two days before I spied an 1989 w/15K miles. Took a look and the condition was great and the price very fair so given the scarcity...

We've had a string of rainy days here so I've been holed up in my shop finishing up some final details on my '75 CB125S and thought I would share what I've done with it and my experiences with parts suppliers. When I bought the bike 6 months and 1,800 miles ago it had only 3,140 well cared for...

Hello there, I've just returned to the sport after about 35 years. I was a Honda mechanic at a couple of shops from about 1965 to 1980, then had no bikes until I got the bug again last June. Bought a nice '75 CB125S with only 3,140 original miles and in quite good shape and have been having...
