First, don't waste your money on a knockoff Mikuni or Keihin. As long as the carb is the flanged mount like you linked, you should be fine. Could double check the measurements of the mounting holes, but unless my memory fails me they should all be the same. If you're capable of tuning a carb...

C'mon guys! Nothing? I know some of you guys have spent a considerable amount of time with the little CB's and I'm finding some conflicting info about whether this bike will even benefit from a bigger carb regardless of whether it's got more displacement.

You're not messing around wasting time! Looking good.

The photo link doesn't seem to be working for me. I'll be following along to see what you do with her. Good luck!

My looong project of rebuilding the motor in my CB125 is now over. It's back to being a runner, but the biggest weak point in this bike has always been the stock Keihin carb. If it's over tightened on the manifold, the slide sticks and that's no fun. If the slide cap is over tightened, it...

First, the controls don't care what kind of voltage they're tied in to. As far as wire routing, I just notched the controls with a dremel so that I didn't have to re snake the wires through the bars. It's not as pretty as running them internally, but I'm not riding a show bike either.

Any update? I'm curious.

I'd bet money that you need to either untighten your throttle cable cap on the carb a bit or loosen the two nuts that hold the carb onto the intake. On this carb, it's really easy to overtighten and have the slide bind up. It has happened to me before and having the throttle stuck wide open...

Have you tried Sprayglo in Gulfport? Don't know TOO much about the quality, but I went to college with one of the guys who runs it and their auto paint looks really nice.

Well it looks great, but that description is terrible. "So even seat foam thickness have made will take rider weights also firmly gently ass." I'd like to see some dimensions on that seat, because it looks great and that's a price I can get behind.

Interesting. I'm sort of in the same boat with my 360 and I'd like to know as well. Looks like it's a fork seal with a wiper built in. the only problem I see is that my fork seals are recessed into the lowers a bit and without the wipers up top, I could see a bunch of dirt and/or water just...

I'll be watching your build unfold. Hoping I can steal a couple of ideas from ya for mine.

Not positive what year it is because it's titled as a 71 but has a disk brake, but that should work. I Is the shaft clean where the points oil seal rides? Also, any idea about the mileage on it? Here's a shot of my motor number if that helps

Mine is pitted a bit where the camshaft oil seal rides and needs to be replaced. The faster the better as my motor is apart at the moment.

I'll jump second in line for the master cylinder and the dust boots if they don't sell. Lemme know.
