Canadian Bucket build?

[slowmike]

the fast mod around this was was to use tzr250 trippleclamps, forks and wheels on the frount and to put the tzr rim on the back (with matching brakes)


gave you clipons better forks bigger wheels and decent brakes

I would love to do that, but smaller displacement bikes ( especially old ones) aren't really popular here like other places in the world. My guess is that finding all that stuff would not only be a pain, but costly.

...as for that exhaust, is it just cut at the headers? 18hp sounds nice to me, what was done to the carbs?

will take more pics at the next race meating and ask a few questions
I gave up on my one before I had it running (8 years ago) so cant realy tell you much

try ebay for the frount end

Honda front ends of that era are easy to swap around Honda had very little imagination when it came to bearings and stem sizes watch out for length though.

The PDF's at the bottom of the page list all the relevant bearing and fork tubes for most of the Honda the rest can be cross references with the Sudco catalog if you wish.

As for the exhausts i am guessing you have muffler shops in Canada they will sell you bends of exhaust tubing real cheap.
A set of high swept back pipes like t500 Triumph racer from Daytona would look real pretty aaah.
Cant find a pic but kind of like this.


The fang site has a Cb125 being used a a drag bike.

how to do the cdi etc. you will have to look around a bit to find it.

It would be real hard to get the little Honda modern looking so why not 60's Honda gp style
Wheels of A Cb200 or similar and a seat and tank modeled on a Gp racer.

or if Yamaha is your style go for one of those style tanks and seats

The CB750 Dyna S fits neatly in the CB125T engine cover. Yellow spot and arrow for advance are aids to track side timing adjustments.
As Dynatek don't supply a unit for the CB125T, I scanned the ones available for Hondas. The CB750 version looked to have the same size back plate as the 125, so I took a chance and ordered one from Tim Blakemore Racing The back plate indeed proved to be the same size and went straight in after increasing the length of the mounting slots, so that the timing mark viewing slot was in the correct place. I also had to mill a new pair of slots in the rotor at 60° to the existing ones. This was necessary to get the magnet on the rotor in the correct orientation to the pickups. Wiring is a piece of cake and before long it was all timed up and ready to go, dyno test soon

Using this logic it would seem any aftermarket ignition for a Cb750 can be modded to fit the Cb125t some later models were factory CDI some cdi ignitions are cheaper than Dynatek.

JC here in Auckland uses reprogrammed GSXR400 ignitions I think. He runs a total loss system with a simple trigger thing mounted on the crank and the pickups on a custom backplate. I've also seen a FZR250 ignition fitted to Olly's CB125T. With no other mods on consecutive dyno runs the ignition increased power about 2hp. The other benefit was that with the extra good spark it was not so cold blooded when first starting.
