A bite sized update this morning! I got another two pieces welded on to the exhaust. It's slowly starting to take shape and really go the way I want it to. It actually took a bit of work for these two pieces. I welded them on and just hated how it was turning out. So I sliced them right...

It's definitely insane! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it. It really makes me wonder what other weird tricks are pulled inside of other factory exhausts.

Thanks for the comment! It's a shame the Dream 50 would be a nightmare to import, because I'd love to build one using the engine from a CBX125F. That would be a monster! I'm currently located in Nagoya, Japan. Here they sold both the street version and the HRC built racing version...

The gas tank is actually the Honda factory original gas tank from the Honda Dream 50 (the little 50 cc scooter that I pulled nearly all my parts from). You can still find them on Yahoo Auctions, but they're quite expensive, generally pulling in around 35,000 yen! So, I took last Thursday off...

That Ace is definitely a good looking bike and it's good to hear that they got the geometry spot on. It's just begging for a better engine though, haha. I think whenever I get done building this one, I might drop a fairing on it as well. My goal is to actually do the ton with a 125. Not sure...

Thanks for the welcome and thanks for checking out my build! The Dream 50 would be an excellent around town bike. In downtown you never break 80 km/h anyways, so the Dream would be right in its element. The Honda Solo is one of my favorite looking 50s ever made! It's a relatively new bike...

It's a 1997 Honda Dream 50. Technically, it's a scooter, haha. It's a DOHC 50cc Single that makes around 5 to 6 hp fed through a 5 speed close ratio transmission. It actually was decently quick for a scooter and would top out at about 90 km/h with the new pipes and carb on it. The street...

Alright! With this post, this brings everything up to date! I hope you guys enjoyed the story so far. I'll keep this updated as I get more work done. Cheers and thanks for checking it out guys! =========== Nov 12, 2012 So, I got this package in the mail the other day. I wonder what it...

Just a little bit more! Enjoy! ============ Nov 08, 2012 Alrighty, not much of an update because I was slammed busy all weekend. I did get a little bit of work done in the few hours I had available though! Most importantly, I sorted out my front fork issue. The main reason I was going to...

We're almost there! Enjoy! ========== Nov 02, 2012 Alrighty, the rear frame connection point to the back bone was a bit of a worry. I wanted to make absolutely sure that this was plenty strong, so I did some additional welding in this area! You can see here that there is now an additional...

The CB125T isn't a bad looking bike, but let's see if we can't make it look excellent! Enjoy! ========= Oct 21, 2012 Alright, so a lot of work has gone into the bike recently! First things first was to get an idea of how the seat and tank were going to sit, so I set them both on there and...

As the title suggests, this is where things get really fun! Enjoy! ========= Oct 13, 2012 My biggest problem with this bike is that knowing that someday I will move back home, I can't take this bike with me. Being a 1997 it is far too new and will be a huge nightmare to get stateside. I...

Let's keep the ball rollin! Enjoy! =============== Sep 17, 2012 Alrighty, I can't leave well enough alone so I had to get out there and get some more work done on this thing. I started with the awesome CBR250RR tachometer. I wired it up, adjusted it into spec, built a new pod for it and...

We're still getting to the really good bit! Enjoy! =============== Sep 01, 2012 Alright, I suppose I should update this! This post is going to cover like 3 months of tooling around with this thing, but here goes! First things first, I received these in the mail... from Taiwan. They're...

The pictures never end! Enjoy! =========== Jun 25, 2012 Alrighty, it’s about time for another update! The CDI and tail light I ordered showed up as well as a few other things, but my turn signals still haven’t made it (this would be the first item I’ve gotten on Yahoo Auctions that hasn’t...

Still rolling! Enjoy! ============ Jun 11, 2012 So I bought some supplies for the garage, got back home, stepped in and in the dark, I noticed something moving. I looked down and this bad boy slithered past my feet and under one of the Bellet seats! I can’t stand snakes! After I turned...

This is a continuation of the copy pastes to bring it up to the present! Enjoy! ================= Jun 06, 2012 I never really followed this up with proper pictures of it in its current state! So, I'm here to remedy just that! First up are two pictures I took right after I finished my fender...

Hello! I've been a fan of Do The Ton for a while now and spend most of my time at work reading the threads on here (shh, don't tell my boss). I figured that since I had a project of my own under way, it might be fun to bring it here for you guys to see. I'll give a little self introduction...
