gulf replica cb125 tdc superdream cafe racer project

[carbon moto]

we bought a few of these cb125 tdc superdreams to build into cafe racers as the frame is very similar to the cd200 & we have made a special seat to fit these (we have built 2 cd200's & have a few more in the pipeline)
& i enjoy playing on these small twins

&

We decided to do something a bit different with this bike, looked in our spares room & found a set of upside down forks off a 125 so we offered them up to the frame, modified the bearings opened the spindle size up by 2mm & hey presto they fitted & allowed the standard front wheel to be used. Next was to chop the frame rails off,cap the ends & weld on the seat mounting brackets, removing loads of unwanted brackets before sending for powder coating (ral 2007). Frame, swinging arm, fork bottoms & the engine mount cradle in orange, everything else in satin black

extended the back of the tank to cover where the original deep seet covered
then painted in base coat white, masked, black then masked, orange then masked & finally baby blue.
all masking removed & quick scotch back & lots of 2k lacquer applied
paintwork done & not a sticker in sight!!

engine all cleaned up & painted matt black with stainless allen bolts should get it as a roller with engine in today
