My 81' Honda CB125S w/ XR185 engine
« on: June 19, 2021, 08:16:34 PM »
This has been my little project since 2016'.I started with doing a complete restoration with PC on the frame and just kept at it.I have a few more engines of different sizes that I snap-on at different times.   Bill

I am having a bit of a search problem locating a stronger set of front fork springs;a problem is the OEM springs with my weight of 225 lbs. and the bike now has a stronger engine tends to bottom every now and again.I did install 1" spacers on top of the springs but I want to purchase a pair of progressive rate springs.I tried a few different spring suppliers here in the US and there is no listing for my 1981' CB125S in their catalogs/sites.I imagine there is an aftermarket spring company over in the UK? which I should try to reach out to if I can find a good company over there.
