CB125?

Cool, I was beginng to think that Honda only sold 125s in the UK, AUS and India!

I saw a Cafe-Racer based on a CG125 at the Honda Owners Club last weekend. I'll try to get hold of the owner/builder and put him in touch with you.

I've posted your question on the HOC board, I'll let you know when its answered.

In the meantime do you have a workshop manual for it?

Haynes did a workshop manual for all the early eighties Honda 125 twins.
Essentially the same engine powering your CB is in Jules' CM with its factory custom frame and bodywork.

Title is
Honda
CB/CD125T & CM125C Twins
124cc 1977 to 1988

ISBN 1 85010 644 4

The one I bought for Jules' CM cost me about a fiver on eBay and its mint.

Roughly speaking 101.2 miles Centre of London to the centre of Leicester by the shortest route available. :)

There is a stack of things to do in London, I'm quite fond of St Pauls Cathedral :D

Depending on what you are into, your budget and the time available there is always something to do in London

We have some London area based members on the forum, check out viewtopic.php?t=581 to get hold of them.

I'd come down and meet you, but Jules' has made some serious threats if I get the bike out before the cast comes off.
