1980 Honda CB 125
« on: May 07, 2011, 12:51:12 AM »
Hey all,
I am very new to motorcycles I had not ridden one until last week when I brought this bad boy for $700Aus.
It has 32000km on the clock and the bloke I bought it from was using it for his small commute to work each day.
I endeavour to strip this back clean and paint, and recondition the engine. I have very limited mechanical experience but I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and have a go so here hoping.

Cheers Stu

I have spent the last week stripping the bike.
My workshop manual is still on its way but I seem to be finding my way around the bike well enough.
Here is the result of my tinkering.
