I migrated this thread from another one I started on a different forum. This place a bit more focus on what I am trying to accomplish
-----------------------------------------------
I put together a pretty nice cb125 last summer. This summer I'm going to try to do a little flat tracker trail cafe mash up. I'm trying to stay under 1000$ total. So far I'm in the bike 150$ probably not worth even that. Clean title tho and the motor has compression. I need a battery as the previous owner said it starts pretty good but idles high. We'll find out.
Battery: I plan on going with a SLA (sealed lead acid) as I did on my R90. In the case it will be 6v / 6ah. I found a few on amazon at 6v 6.5ah which I will use and cost me a whopping 12$. Shipped. I just can't seem to find one with post. Most have the crappy flat connectors.
Between now and then I'll pull as much off as possible. and just start cleaning it. Like i said I don't want to invest a crazy amount of time in this one. or money.
If anyone had a small headlight 6v they wanna sell for cheap let me know.
Here she is.
Last summers build.
Gotta keep pulling everything off.
Its seems pointless to get a carb kit when I can get a carb for the same price. Garbage carb off fleabay but I've heard of people having success w them.

Just gotta find out if the cb100 and sl100 share the same part.
I can say with a bit of confidence that I feel alot better working on bikes since last year.
Any suggestions welcomed
