That’s kind of what I figured. If I come across a 24mm for cheap I might pick it up as the slide on my stock 22mm is kind of sticky, but I don’t think I’ll make it a priority. Hot cams for these things are tough to find too. I have no interest in going through the hassle to get one, or dropping...

I love this bike... so I just put you up for BOTM. Go accept your nomination and throw up some nice pics for all to see! Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Well if we’re gonna do a 750 shootout, I quite like this 750 resto 1982 CB750F brought back from the death https://www.dotheton.com/index.php?threads/1982-CB750F-brought-back-from-the-death.77643/ Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

That’s very interesting. I had no idea that was the case. Makes them even cooler! Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

It’s nice to see enfield stepping it up here. I really like some of the bikes they’ve been putting out lately, and stepping up their quality forces all the other big names to step it up. I like the idea of the lifan swaps for sure. Especially since they’re reasonably cost effective. Honda didn’t...

Saw that as well. I would never run the oil provided with something like that lol. It was interesting to see that royal rn field was at the top of the list. I think I’d just as soon use something like a crf250 engine rather than a lifan. I’ve got no problem with lifan, but a 250 dirt bike engine...

They can... sorta. Bore out the original cylinder to fit a cb750 sleeve, amongst some other machining work to make it all fit together. You also need a crank out of a cl/cb125, or you can just start with a 125 engine. The 125’s use a connecting rod with a larger piston pin than the 100’s, which...

Do you think there’s actually any performance to be gained by swapping carbs? I don’t ever expect this thing to be a powerhouse, after all 100cc and a 51 year old engine only gets you so far, but I wouldn’t mind a little extra kick. I don’t particularly care to dump a ton of money into the...

Today I walked through a local shops parts stash, if that’s what you want to call it. It’s really two decent sized buildings full, floor to ceiling, two levels, with parts. Pretty much all makes and models, though mostly older Japanese. There’s really no organizational system so you just have to...

I went the route of making side covers for my 100. I’ve only done the right side so far, but it wasn’t too hard. Only $10 worth of sheet metal too, which is why I did it. Takes a good amount of work, but can be knocked out in a day. Either way, love how this thing is turning out! Sent from my...

Coming together nicely! Just a thought, have you tried to find if someone makes a decal for a kph speedo rather than buying a whole new speedo? Or maybe just a face plate out of a kph speedo? They’re not to hard to take apart so if you want to save some cash it might be worth a look

I didn’t quite follow that forum for my conversion, but I did something similar. I opted for a 12v coil, rather that the original 6v coil with the resistors. I have heard that a cb350 coil is a good one to use. I personally used a oil filled coil, similar to what you might see on a older car...

Does anybody know if there is a difference between a 6v condenser and a 12v condenser? I just 12v swapped my cl100 and it just occurred to me that I didn’t do any research regarding the condenser, and I obviously don’t want to damage the 6v condenser or something else if it isn’t compatible with...

I think you’ll love your little 100, i sure love mine. How do you plan on doing the 12v swap? I’ve heard of some guys just putting in a better rectifier and a 12v battery and lights and that working well (this is my plan) and I have seen others swap in a cb350 stator as well as the other stuff...

Thanks guys, I didn’t take any pictures of the shock modifications but I’ll pull one off of the bike when I have time and try to get some pics. I’m the meantime I found some diagrams so I’ll attempt to explain that way. So this diagram is of the cl100 shocks, and all your gonna need off of...

Small update here, but an update nonetheless. For starters, I got the new side cover painted and put on the bike. I think I’ll start on the left side one this spring maybe. It looks OK on the bike, just not as good as I had hoped, and the color match isn’t great. Eventually I’ll buy the stickers...

Did this sell?

So last month I moved to Milwaukee, Wi from Madison, Wi to play a season of junior hockey. I currently live with what is called a “billet family” which is a family that volunteers to give players a room in their home for the season. When I moved here, I obviously had to leave the bike at home...

So I have been thinking lately about converting my cl100 from 6v to 12v, and have come to the conclusion that’s it’s probably a good idea. While I’m sure that I would be able to find 6v bulbs bright enough it’s a lot cheaper and easier to find 12v stuff. When I do the swap I plan to replace my...

Thanks guys. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I think I could've done a better job with the bodywork but this isn't a restoration either, so a few imperfections are fine with me. I am planning on getting some stickers made that say CL100. I thought about ones that say honda and have the...
