Well, I know it's a Benly!! ;D ;D  What motor does it have, a 125 or 150?  Earlier ones were 125's, yes?

I guess with me having more than a few takes on the same bike, things do get confusing. ;D ;D ;D

This one is all 125 Gregg, all CB92 Super Sports, and race kitted.

I'm in love with them Sam.  I have pipe dreams of turning my early model CA95 parts bike into a CB92 replica.

Exactly!  That is a sweet little racer!  Are the pipes custom?

It only gets used as a test bed for motors these days, the tyres are shot. :'(

The down pipes are CB92 into custom made megaphones.

Hmm, are the CB92 down pipes different from the C95 and CA95's?

Sorry for all the questions Sam, but I know you don't put them on here unless you want to talk about them!! ;)

Is this beautiful Benly 'new to you'?

Yas Gregg, the purple one came last weekend, the black and red hybrid I've had for years.

I was doing research on exhaust pipe gaskets for my 63 CA95 and you seemed to be on to something in this thread. Maybe you could slide me some info on what you were using so I can share with others in need...
