I've made the mistake of liking my Honda CB100 soooo much I decided to build another....but different!
Started with a Honda CB100 frame from 1973, added 19in rims since I'm a big fat bastard, some chrome, couldn't find a 1/2 decent CB100 motor so I went with an XL 125.
I had a CB motor but its been outside exposed the to elements for 30+ years and needs a total rebuild something that my limited skills and limited access to parts made me find a donor motor.
Feel my pain so far?
Is there some way to use an XL 125 12V harness and motor with light/indicator/horn switches (aftermarket), lights, indicators from a 75 Honda 125s 6v?
6v to 12V conversion is easy and we've done more than a few of them.
Parts you'll need:
12V battery
12V regulator/rectifier
All new lights (including gauge lights)
Horn
Existing wiring and switches are OK to reuse if they're in good condition. I also recommend keeping the ignition system stock. It runs on AC power directly from the alternator and conversion of that portion can be tricky.
We have a kit we've put together, if you're interested. The only batteries we supply are LI-ION, which I know can be outside of some people's budgets, so let me know if you wanted the full deal or plan to use something else for the battery.
I should have made myself clearer, I have a 12v motor/gauges (although its proving to be another nightmare to get the bezels to mount the xl speedo/tach to the cb triple tree) harness (and hopefully all the bits needed; rectifier/coil/ect) but have CB 6v switches/ignition/indicators.
See pics below, first is of the back side of the XL gauges and the next is the CB bezels next to the XL gauges.
