Took my first test ride last night. Some kinks to work out for sure, but most glaring is the brakes. I have a new front master, and I tore down the calipers and cleaned everything and checked seals and put it all back together. No leaks, and I have bled multiple times, but I just can’t seem to...

Starting to get to the roots of my electrical gremlins. These bikes combine the starter relay with starter lockout for some reason and it wasn’t letting ground signal for the starter solenoid through. I bypassed that and was able to get the starter button work and spin the engine for the first...

Let there be light. I’ve been attacking the harness the last few days since I got my plug kit. I was able to get some of the electrical to work already, but still some to go. The reg/rec that I got with it isn’t the right one for the bike so I ordered a really nice used one from a working...

Aesthetics is a far off project on this bike lol, but i do appreciate everyone’s feedback and opinions. I think I’d like to do something similar to those two bikes, but maybe retain the passenger seat, just bring the side panels to a sharper point. In other news I am slowly progressing on...

Very nice bike. Would be fun to start this up again, prize or not Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

I like the look too. Kind of somewhere between full sport and naked. I think my plan is to make the tail panels come to a sharper point at the back. Not a full point like some modern bikes, but just something to slim it out a bit. I think that and adding the small dual round tails will help lean...

You as well, I always enjoy meeting others that are into this stuff! I’m glad I get a chance to give it another life, hopefully it will stack up to some of your FZ’s. If I get back down in the area I will have to grab that box, though truthfully it may be cheaper to just buy a used box with the...

This summer I started looking for a trail bike so I could ride with some buddies on something a little bigger than the cl, and now I’ve successfully found a replacement in the form of a… Yamaha fz600? Ok so maybe I got a little sidetracked, but I got a once in a lifetime offer from member...

Well missing electrical isn’t a big deal to me. A lot of the original electrical will get replaced anyhow I think. And as long as it has compression I think I’ll be ok. It’s very difficult to find top end parts though so that could be interesting if it needs work lol. I did see that moto-lab...

That thing is more beautiful than I even expected! I’ll do my best to get it back on the road! Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

I appreciate it. I live pretty much full time in the Duluth area now so if you’re ever up here. I usually go back to Madison every couple months or so too and you’re probably only a half hour or so out of the way, so I’ll be sure to let you know! Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

That’s a very tempting offer, I definitely give it a tentative maybe. From my understanding, the atc motors require full transmission swaps to be converted to manual clutch, and I’m not sure at all how that works with shaft drive. That said, I have also read that the 100/125/185/200 cases are...

I have also considered a Honda clone engine. Just hard to justify something like that coming from China knowing that it could either be great, or junk Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

That would be the ideal situation yes, but they seem sparse in my area. It’ll probably be a while before I get around to rebuilding anyways so I’ll definitely keep an eye out. I don’t want to abandon the original engine but I also don’t want to continue to rebuild 100/125 engines. If I can score...

Well, i wish I could say things have been good for this bike, but I’d be lying. I rode it for a month or so there and it was running great until a couple weeks ago when I took it to a friends cabin and it starting acting up. I blew a tire that weekend too so it sat for a while. I got the new...

Well, instead of letting this thing rot away in storage I decided to sack up and do something about it. I dragged it out this weekend and hauled it 5 hours back up to college with me on a hitch mounted rack behind my car. Best decision I could have made. I met up with a friend tonight on his...

Congrats! It always feels great to get a project finished that you’ve been stumped on Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Installed some led blinkers last weekend. Most did it because the blinkers I chose also have tail and drake lights, so I can eliminate the big stock one. However they are dimmer than I’d hoped for so I will probably end up doing an led strip too when I make a plate mount. I don’t entirely love...

I actually just did this on my 1970 cl100, which should be wired basically the same as your bike, so I will try to explain how I did it. As teaser said, you should first cut the two wires that go to the “idiot light”. Since you cut these two wires, you will now have 4 ends of wires that are...

Thanks! I sourced it from aliexpress I think. Paid like $.72 for the fender and $10 to ship it lol. It’s shockingly higher quality than I was expecting. The rear fender that I bought at the same time is far worse however so it may just be a crapshoot. It’s listed as a “cg125” fender. You can...
