anyone know a good place to get some saddlebags for a CT110 ? - what about a new headlamp bulb ? - also how many kms do you get on reserve tank ? Oh and 1 more - where to get knobblies ?

All questions i could just go and ask the bike shop across the road but thought someone might have some better cheaper ideas - thanks

1. Tackle a postie? Any saddlebag will probably fit, you might have to make a frame for them to sit on though. A couple of cheap backpacks strapped together is an economy solution.
2. Take out old bulb, go to Repco/Supercheap, chances are they'll have something.
3. Fill tank, fill 5L fuel can & strap to carrier, zero trip meter, ride until it stops. Note trip meter reading :-) Tip in spare fuel, ride on.
4. Trademe, Bike shop, Bike wrecker for cheapies.

Cheers

BULBS
I,m not shure ---but I think 1980,s car bulbs fit.
If you can get access to old cars,you may find one (or two) for free. The tabs around the edge can be ground off/ altered to make em. fit.

Neat old bikes...ride one on the rabbit for years. bit of pig with the low front guard and it fills up with mud then frezzers up over night. Pity they don't make adventure bikes with dual range gearboxes

they are old in the sense theve been around a long time, but Honda still make them so you can pick up all new stuff from a honda shop, you can pick up bulbs, filters,oil etc from supercheap type stores etc.
They do make a dual range gearbox for adv, its the bike of topic :msn-wink:

they are a sweet little bike - i have seen new models with the Hi - Lo box and the odd one on trade me but thought dino3310 was meaning they made a dual range box specifically for adventuring. I had a look on the One Ten Motorcycles site and saw the 140cc upgrade kits - that would be fun. Also some guy had fitted a 140cc chinese motor to one - awesome.

Would be a cool bike to adv on. 140cc sounds good, got to be weary of the chinese engines. Yes they work but from what I've heard you're almost better off with standard. Could be wrong, and often am.

you could chuck a 20lt gas container on the front rack, which would conterweight the fishing gear on the back.
you could do the east cape without having to worry about gas :laugh:

The old CT90's had dual ratio box but the CT125's didn't , they had really low 1st and 2nd gear

Sorry for bringing back an old thread, but it's kinda relevant.

I've just got myself an old CT110, but found it to be leaking fuel from a hose that comes out of the bottom of the carby, as well as from under the air filter cover.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what's going on and how I might fix it?

Sounds like a worn out float valve in the carb. If you haven't seen it already you need to get on advrider.com & look into the 'hardcore posties' thread in the Oz section, lots of 110 gurus there.

Easiest is to replace all the carb o-rings.

Would that include the fuel dripping from the air filter box?

Today I received the Clymer Honda 50-110 OHC Singles (1965-1999) workshop manual that I ordered yesterday, and I know One Ten motorcycles have parts and spares (I think about $45AU for a pack of carby components - jets, needles and such). I just wanted some more opinions before I go ripping apart the carby - having never done that before.

$50 bucks on TM will buy you a complete new carb, Chinese of course but they are ok.
