CB100 First Build

[stroker crazy]

Coming along well!

You will have to come for a ride with the SinCity SkyTeam crew, that would really confuse people.

Will definitely come along for a ride.

Just wished it was finished already. Am getting impatient and want a bike to ride so will probably go buy either a ktm duke 200 or aprilia rs125 this weekend. Just need to decide which one.

 

[stroker crazy]

I would go for the RS125 - but that is not necessarily a rational decision!

Crazy

 

[rothko78]

That is the way I am leaning. Had one years ago when I last had my learners. So much fun and I love the sound of the two strokes.
Plus I want something I can use as a track bike later on so kind of rules out the ktm

 

[stroker crazy]

A de-restricted RS with a better pipe is heaps of fun!

But can get expensive.

Crazy

 

[rothko78]

One of the ones I am looking at is de restricted with an arrow pipe

 

[stroker crazy]

That's a very good thing!

Tapered bearings fitted. Now fitting the forks and all controls then in to wiring.

More photos to come.

It's finally a roller again. Ready to start the wiring this week.

 

[stroker crazy]

Looking good!

[mrlvlagic]

Wow that is looking really good

 

[rothko78]

Thanks guys.

So have about another two weeks before the engine will be put back together.

In the mean time will get the wiring done, rear fender, leather tank strap, reupholster the seat and find new tyres.

 

[rothko78]

Progress has been very slow. Done a bit of the wiring but it's proving a bit beyond my experience.
Got the engine back this weekend and bolted it in.
Working on setting up the rear sets. But the kit I was told would work by a certain shop is so far from working. Thankfully though I contacted moto bits who make the kit and they have been amazingly helpful with working out a solution.

So here are a few pics with the engine in.

How's your kicker clearance with the rear sets?

 

[rothko78]

It's going to be pretty close. But still working on the rear sets so not sure yet.

 

[whynot]

Man, that thing looks great......hope I can get my 100 any wheres close to that.

GOOD JOB.....!!!!!!

 

[rothko78]

thanks mate. I am really happy with how its turned out.

Does anyone know what ratio the speedo is on a CB100?

 

[rothko78]

Coyote13 got the rear sets fitted up and the kicker just clears the toe piece when it is on the furthest back mount.
Going to try a cb360 kicker to see if I get more clearance with the toe piece further forward.

Fitted a few new parts tonight.
