Could any one please tell me the axle width in between the fork legs on a CB 350 please?

I need to move a rim 1/4" to one side .... Should I A) loosen off all one side then tighten the other Or B) loosen off one spoke then tighten the opposite ?

Shamone suspension geeks ...... So I 100% lucked in on evilbay winning this uncompleted grass track outfit for a song. Built in the 70's by a professional frame builder intended as a small engined youth intro bike, the wheel base is slightly longer than the average street 125. I'm intending to...

Hey Y'all I have 'unintentionally' purchased this rolling grasstrack chassis from Evilbay. I put a spurious bid on it at the starting price thinking the forks and 16" alloy rimmed wheels would be good for a future project. I've not collected it yet but the overall dimensions are 6' long and...

This space is pre-booked so bugger off and be patient ;)

I'm trying to remove the bars on my K100, but can't work out how to disconnect the the tubing that runs through the bars for the heated grips. It's not shown in the Haynes manual and I don't want to damage the system inadvertently....... Any pointers please guys :)

Has any one got one, for an '86, in English? Please ???

Please throw me a line someone!! So I have a honda based OHV CG125 engine in my bike. I am running with no battery, no existing loom or other crap. Just a CDI ignition circuit out of the stator which runs perfect 100% sweet. There are two more wires coming out of the stator, both are outputs but...

What's the consensus on the early (79) CX 500 power plant? Thinking in terms of using for a sidecar outfit. Are they torquey / reliable / easy to work on? Anything to watch out for? And the drive train? Thanks Gents.

How hard is it? On the final leg of an upgrade ......... went to fit XL 125 front end to a CB125s frame ....... bearings all matched up and fitted ....... slipped the stem up through and ...... it's 2 cm shorter than the CB tree and won't reach through. DAMN IT >:( >:( :'( The stems are the...

I plan to fit some kind of board vertically in a rear triangle and want to know what would be the best material to use? The easiest thing would be to use some plywood but is there anything better? It will be hidden behind side panels so it's not a visual thang. The components I need to mount are...

I'm pretty inexperienced at welding so please be gentle. I have an Oxford 110 that has had fresh transformer oil and leads and clamps. The birthday fairy brought me a new light triggered mask and I picked up some new gloves and chipping hammer. I want to be able to weld thin gauge metal, I...

Tried this Question in the engine section but got no answers, so one more stab in cafe help. Does anyone one know if the 175 twin (upright) would be a direct fit to the 125 family rear engine mounts? There is so much commonality with Honda stuff, I'm wondering if they used the same dimensions...

Does anyone one know if the 175 twin (upright) would be a direct fit to the 125 family rear engine mounts? There is so much commonality with Honda stuff, I'm wondering if they used the same dimensions for ease of production tooling. However I've not heard of it being done before so I wouldn't be...

I have moved the top mounting point of my rear shocks forwards and downwards, basically jacking up the back and laying down the shocks . Nothing radical though. I chose the mounting point by drawing an arc up from the bottom mount with the swinging arm pivot point as the center. This has given a...

Phnnarr ;) I need to raise the rear end of my bike, but having already forked out on a nice new pair of shocks, I can't afford to/justify buying a longer set. I've been thinking of grinding off the welds on the rear subframe and welding it back on a little lower and slightly more forward. I...

Not strictly Cafe, really. Does anyone have any experience of/ good links to lightweight sidecar fabrication. Been googling the crap out of the topic but can't seem to find the pearls of wisdom or pointers needed. Thanks for any help peops. :)

Bike: generic honda 125 family. How do you tell whether the forks have either too much damping too little damping not heavy enough oil dodgy drum/tyre Is there a diagnostic resource out there?

Crazy PJ asked me to put some photo's up from last weekends hillclimb here in South Wales ( The country near to England as opposed to the other one in Australia) It's a time trail on a surfaced road, about 1/2 mile long, up an incline, raced individually. Lots of different catagories which...

Turns out my rear shocks are not going to pass muster, all spring and no damping. I'm going to have to get some new ones, nothing flash tho. The bike is a generic CG125, it's got 310mm as stock. Honda CG 125's have 320's Honda RS250 (single OHC) have 325's And The same supplier will do 335's...
