CL125 Cafe "lil Frank"

[ffjmoore]

Well little frank has been getting tinkered with a little. I put on a new rectifier, also put on a headlight bucket with a built in speedo.

Franks also sporting a new pair of gazelle tires as well as a PAMCO electronic ign.

Very nice headlight unit you've got there

 

[ewd]

I dropped the front of the tank an inch. Can you tell? I can. now when i do a new seat i can have that nice straight line from the front to back.

Very nice. Looking good!

Do you think you're going to swap out the lollipop turn signals with something a bit more streamlined? For some reason, those always bothered me ;D

 

[MBS]

Tell me more about that PAMCO ignition...

 

[ffjmoore]

What do you want to know? Its an electronic ign built for a honda single. Install is easy. It works good so far. I have about 10 miles on it.

 

[MBS]

How much and where did you buy it?

 

[ffjmoore]

Price will likely be $109,mine was a demo unit, its the first one made for a cb125 and im the guinea pig. He makes them for many other bikes and they are tried and true. Its pamco pete

Frank got some new blinkers. They worked perfectly to hold the headlight bucket on but were 12v. So i threw in some 6v lights that are usually inside the guages. They are 1.7 watt and not very bright so i just bought some 6v 10watt lights on ebay. If they work good ill replace the rear lollipop taillights to match these ones. They are still kinda retro/stock looking but not a huge as the OEM.

The stock bulbs are 16+ watts so i hope that 10 will be bright enough.

took the bike over to the coast for 5 days. Rode the hell out of it riding all over the place.

 

[Erskine]

Lovely pictures there!
Classy little bike, keeping it so straightforward looks great.

 

[ffjmoore]

I rode the bike all over the place while i was there. My dad rode also on his harley. Every time we stopped i would get comments on my bike or even while i was riding a girl on a bike yelled at me "COOL BIKE!" Nobody ever says anything about a harley.

 

[ffjmoore]

Went and rode down town with my buddy and his 550. Did another photo shoot. Thought it would be funny. I love to take pictures of this bike im a little narcissistic about it.

The alley we rode was pretty nasty. That could be human shit on the front tire.

Looks like Cliff Road above Capitola.

 

[ffjmoore]

You are correct sir! You going to come to the little shin dig at the winery?

 

[DirtyFrank]

How's that ignition working out now that you've had it for a while?

 

[ffjmoore]

I was talking to a buddy about Electronic ign the other day and had totally forgot that I had put it on the bike untill he asked. So yeah its great. So few problems that its completely forgettable.

 

[DirtbagUT]

LOVE your bikes man... I have a cb125 myself. Keep up the good work.

 

[ffjmoore]

Thanks, stay tuned for the SL175 im building. Its going to be pretty cool.
