Honda CB125s Cafe Racer

This was taken in 2007, a day after the cafe racer was built. I just happen to ran into this old clip in my drive, so why not share it!

I'm planning on buying a 75 honda cb350, my question is did you use aftermarket rearsets and how hard is it to move the battery to make the triangle? where is a good spot to put the battery? Also are you using clubman or clipon bars?

[takeroarima045]

@cristiancgarcia I had to build my own rearsets... and moving the battery took some effort on getting the wiring extended. The handlebars are also hand built.

Nice bike man! I have a 70's CG150 that I'm trying to find carb jets for, got any ideas? I think it's the same push rod engine as yours just bigger bore not completely sure though

[takeroarima045]

@WoodcockMichael thanks for the comment, I'm not sure about the size of the jetting for CG. I would try looking into those online parts finder and look for the parts list of the jets.

Cool bike! I saw it in person and talked to you for a bit at a cycle show a year or two ago. Definitely a unique build.

Thanks, it's been improved these days, it is turning back to those realiable Honda I surpose.

Hey, AWSOME!!!! I'm about to rebuild my carburetor tonight, I'll get back to you. Will you take pay pal? Are you in the US?

[elwierdobeardo]

@WoodcockMichael I have a standard 125cc 95, a 107.5 and a 112.5 all main Jets, and somewhere there are some pilot jets, but beware when playing with these as they upset the overall balance when the throttle is flatout and drawing the most throughput! If you can get access to a lathe, boring out the inlet helps if you are after Power!

[elwierdobeardo]

@WoodcockMichael I have some odd Jets that will fit your carb! What size is the standard one and what have you done to the intake and exhaust? I had a TL125s (had a OHC engine orginially) but with a push rod cg125 engine in it, played wit the jetting alot got loads of jets in a draw right here!

Nice bike, how do like the small cc? Can it get up to highway speed? I just built a 1978 kawasaki kz650 cafe and I love it! Check my vid if you want
