Here's my 81 400e, stretched 7.5", lowered a bit in the front, and some handlebars I got from a jet ski

Loose ground is probably not it. Quite the opposite, if there is no path to ground, no current will flow, you need 15A of current to blow that fuse that's quite a bit. Likely a short downstream of the fuse or voltage going too high.

I went partial 12v you could say. I ditched the battery on my bike so the electronics only work when its running, and I have the lines to the ignition left in the original configuration. The headlight is a piaa auxiliary driving light meant for a car that works just fine off of the original...

added about 3.25" to the arm. The shock is the OEM part from a Honda Grom, and I added about .25" of preload. The chain clears the upper loop of the swingarm by a finger so its good, it can slightly brush the swingarm pivot, just as it always has.

Finished up the swingarm the back is nice and firm, now I need to work on the front suspension https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAHTb5vPK2k

Thanks Royal, I changed the exhaust to give myself more room for the monoshock setup and also I always smell like exhaust when I get done riding this bike, I am hoping to reduce that with the lower positioning. Otherwise the exhaust cleared the rear tire just fine with the dual rear shock setup...

Re: CB125s My First 2-Wheeler been a while since Iv done any work on this bike! got the itch to get it back out on the road this summer which led me to making a new simpler exhaust with a better muffler and also trying out a mono-shock setup.. It seems to be a bit on the soft side, it...

Re: CB125s My First 2-Wheeler ^^ thx.. switched to photobucket

Re: CB125s My First 2-Wheeler Here is a vid of the taillight, its three high power LEDs driven by an Arduino in a box under the seat.. they flash rapidly three times before they come on fully when I hit the brake, but you cant see it in the video because the capture framerate is not quick...

Re: CB125s My First 2-Wheeler Here are some more pics, and also my brothers bike that he built along with me. His is red, then white, then matte metallic blue. mine has always been the original blue tank paint. how my brothers started turned in to this

Re: CB125s My First 2-Wheeler fabbed up an exhaust pipe to put the muffler under the tail

Re: CB125s My First 2-Wheeler Shifter rearset is about done..

I think I can help out.. My brother and I both have CB125's mine is a '82 model and his is an '80 model identical to yours and we both have done a lot of looking around for pieces, parts etc. We both got the rear shocks listed here http://www.ebay.com/itm/170978581251 They are a little...

Re: CB125s My First 2-Wheeler That bike I believe was done up by Bare Bones Rides, out of florida IIRC. The bike appears to be a cb125 pre 1981

Re: CB125s My First 2-Wheeler have some updates; new tires new shocks gas tank is cleaned out, filled and plumbed re-doing the tail, the first one was mainly a concept and a test of the materials and I eye-balled the measurements on, it was a bit rough. This new one is a little smaller and a...

looks good, similar to mine im working on... the guys reading my thread are giving me tremendous amounts of shtt for wanting to go +2" over on the rear shock height, you will have to report back on here if the 1.25" over stock causes you any problems with steering stability, if you dont mind.

Re: CB125s My First 2-Wheeler What is the reference for placing them in the correct position? Ill set it all to stock and see if I can fit.

Re: CB125s My First 2-Wheeler okay, made some adjustments.. to make the chain clear the pivot and the rest of the swing arm, I pulled up the droop to set the rear shock at 2" over stock. does that make for a better MAXIMUM amount of lift and adjust down to stock from there as needed? It...

Re: CB125s My First 2-Wheeler yea it might be on the small side for me.. Im 6"1' 185 I can ride it at stock height, but where I would like to put the rear sets comfortably, seems very low to the ground and may be close to scraping the ground if the bike is leaned over too far. I think...
