74 CL125 speed limit I had the throttle fully open at 55-58 and backed off, i let off when i felt it was open completely, im sure if i kept on it i could of done lil over 60 but it'd be pushing it to hard, i am running knobby tires & weigh 195lb. it does 45-50 comfortable, any more i feel...

right, I don't, or haven't taken it on the highway yet. I drive it 50 max but normally 40-45mph. It takes longer to get to work or elsewhere because i stay off the highway but i'll leave earlier to ride it. It would be nice to hold onto it and keep it as is but unfortunately i don't have...

Thanks, I get lots of complements on it while I'm out. The census is that I shouldn't be using this classic as a daily commuter but at 75-85mpg I'll drive it every day the weather allows ;D

I have a 74 CL125s, I'm a 200lb guy & while riding the bike on smooth road it feels good but seems to hit rough spots in the road hard. bumps/holes/and such it can hit pretty hard, the stock shocks are decent & seem ok but is this just the small size of the bike? Is there anything i can do or...

Re: Chrome rust removal using electrolysis? - Update UPDATE - I decided in theory that this process should not hurt the chrome - instead of testing it on scrap i took a gamble & i went right for it and cooked my fenders, it worked just as i thought it would. Ill post photos on my bike thread.

tire blow out on street & new tires I recieved my new tires after waiting 2.5 weeks - I ordered the Vee Rubber VRM-022 , state they are 80% street tires/20% off road.. after looking at them in person they are knobbier than i expected.. Hope they handle ok on the road... in an added note...

My questions are about using electrolysis specifically, not the general rust removal using other processes/products. I'm quite fluent in auto body repair & have experience using electrolysis for restoration. I understand how electrolysis works but have yet to experiment with its use on...

I figured it out, studs slide into grommets. not threaded.

on a 1974 CL125 or similar bikes, the rear fender is attached to the frame, how? does the fender have metal studs that slip into rubber grommets or is this threaded & screwed from the other side, thru the frame, into the fender?

Copper Gaskets are BAD Do not use copper gaskets on a bike. Do not use copper gaskets on any vehicle whose engine parts are made from aluminum.

Do not use copper gaskets if they are to come in contact with aluminum engine parts. Copper, when near or against aluminum or zinc will cause a chemical reaction & it will deteriorate the aluminum. Do not use paint that contains copper on aluminum or zinc & vise-versa. I dont know what other...

Hey guys, I have a question for you. Im going thru my bike, Looking at the parts breakdown diagrams. I'm looking to replace gaskets & parts that should be replaced because of age. My bike has only 3,300 miles on it. I have a few leaky gaskets on the bike, leaking oil just enough to be wet...
