CL125 Round three
« on: December 04, 2011, 10:03:58 AM »
Well im starting in on my 3rd 125s. I am not sure where this one is going to go yet but so far i have got the motor out of a 78 and droped it in a 74 CL125 frame. Need to adjust the points and valves and see if the motor will run. Im thinking either a long tank cafe with rearsets or a street tracker with possible mono shock.

If you need some possible wiring diagrams to work from, I have a couple that might help out.  they are what I used for my 550.  Let me know & I'll figure out a way to get them scanned (scanner in storage ::) currently).

I think I have a good handle on the wiring diagram. I have some basic ones that I'll work off of and add parts that I need to it. I'll let you know if I get stuck.

Got this bike up and running. It sounds a little funny but who cares. I think ill use it for camping. Still needs a lot of work. New controls, chain, cables. So i pushed it back on the side of the house with the rest of the fleet and then rolled in a CB175 to get working for the wife.  And yes Tintop i started working on the 550 also.
