You need help ff.

Ah, I'm just jealous.

Couldnt pass up a $45 dollar bike. I think i can just slap the motor out of my 78 parts bike and it should be almost ready to go. But i have to hold off till i finish my 550. But until then my mind will wander. Ny wife doesnt care for the low bars on the cafe 125 so i think i might build a street tracker, or throw on a big tank, the rear rack and maybe some saddle bags and make a grocery getter.

Well the bike is finished. All new cables and a new set of shocks. Took a few pictures. What do you guy think?

No offense intended but that bike is cute.....

Flying J · « **Reply #128 on:** November 20, 2011, 05:32:52 PM »

None taken, i built it for my wife. She picked the color. But i still ride it the most.

Retro Rocket · « **Reply #129 on:** November 20, 2011, 05:34:07 PM »

Cool, i'm sure she loves it....

Thats a cool little bike ya got there. Can you post a vid cruising it down the street?

Lookin great man, congrats on finishing. I wasn't sure about that seat at first, but after all is said and done that thing looks REALLY nice. Great lines!

Very nice...w/ the styling it speaks to me of "minimalist". Does it have a good bark ?Where did you source those Nice custom headlight holders from? Will they fit many different models? or are they just for the CB125S ?

Tintop · « **Reply #133 on:** November 21, 2011, 04:59:42 PM »

Well done ffj, bike looks great (even the header wrap

. Your mod to the seat shape worked very well. Now get the 550 done.

Flying J · « **Reply #134 on:** November 21, 2011, 05:47:44 PM »

@ grcamna2 Good Bark? Its sounds pretty good with the baffle i put in the exhaust, without it the bike sounds terrible. Head light holders are from http://www.hondaminitrail.com/ and they fit small bikes like z50s or trail 70s or 90s.

@Tintop I gave up on making it to the GNRS this year. It was to close and then i picked up more hours at work and now i have a second job at a Sushi restaurant. The motor is holding me up right now, thats what im working on so its not that intresting as far as posting pictures and what not. But fear not i will get back at it. I did pick up a few trail 90s that i bought to get running and then sell. Ill see where that fits in. Here is the future project lineup.

Tintop · « **Reply #135 on:** November 21, 2011, 06:43:02 PM »

I don't see any alloy tanks in that lot.

I understand the GNRS situation, the dead line can sneak up on you very quickly. There is always next year. Maybe I can make it back down again then, especially given your new sushi connection.

Beats me. Just a funny picture i found. Those CT200s and ct90s are really the work horse of other countries.

I want to sell 2 of mine and then build one cool ct200. Something like this.

Tintop · « **Reply #138 on:** November 23, 2011, 07:32:34 PM »

You won't be able to carry many geese on that last one

grcamna2 · « **Reply #139 on:** November 24, 2011, 10:03:21 PM »

I like small bikes; if you have to you can lift them over obstacles & start on a path that others couldn't get to,or take your wheels with you in your auto...if needed.
I like your CL350 there w/ the CT's...what's your plans for that one ?

Flying J · « **Reply #140 on:** November 24, 2011, 10:47:31 PM »

I have it for sale right now. It needs quite a bit of work and i think i would like to find one already running or one that is a little more done and then use this one for parts.

Flying J · « **Reply #141 on:** November 25, 2011, 09:51:18 AM »

Bike is nominated for bike of the month on DO THE TON. so if your a member over there go vote and represent a SOHC mini.

Me too. I just never see these small bikes in the area. She is 5'1", and I dont know of any other bikes that she will fit on aside from mopeds and vespas.

Flying J · « **Reply #149 on:** November 30, 2011, 02:45:12 PM »

Well, bike is gone. Now i need to figure out what the next project is, besides finishing my 550. My options are another 125 or a trail 90.
