My 1973 Honda SL125 K2 - First Video

When I was a kid back in the 1970's, my first road worthy vehicle was a 1973 Honda SL125-K2 dual-sport enduro street legal dirt bike. That was 36 years ago folks. Well after deciding to restore it, this video is the first of a series I hope to make over time. This bike took me months to restore and a bundle to bring back to show room condition. Im experimenting on making videos on the road using an Oregon Scientific sport cam that can be mounted on a helmet or elsewhere.

nice helmet cam..

@Lconroy8

Was an old Oregon Scientific ATC2K Camera Helmet Cam with rubber strap mounting. Not very good at high speeds as it vibrates a lot. I just got a GoPro HERO with a handlebar mount. Should be a lot better. WIll make a new movie soon.

@forseener

Is the restoration done? If so, give us a link to it.

I just found a NOS luggage rack and will put it on mine soon.

Back sprocket is 44T and front is 15T (original was 14T). Adds about 5 mph on top end but at a slight cost of low end response. Hardly noticeable.

Hey I started to restore the SL125.. Do you have any advice or websites where you got part? Thank you

Dang, does that bring back memories! In 1985 my Dad found this bike for me as my first bike. All original. Wish I still had it today! By the way, in 1985 I was only 14, so I kind of broke a few laws riding it to the mall and such!!

Hi again, I was wondering what gearing you have on it? Cheers, John
