If any of the bits of the CT are common with Honda three wheelers of the mid '80's , and you need any bits, let us know. I have a mate who has a runner slowly decaying in his front yard (I know, not real specific on model, but all I know about three wheelers is that they are a hospital pass. Anyway, the motor looks very XR 250 and it's shaft drive). All the motor/drivetrain bits should be OK, except the magneto, which is rooted.
Nobody knows what human life is, why we come, why we go,
so why then do I know, I will see you in far off places?

Hi Jatz,
The principles of the 110 mods could apply, but the 125 doesn't (quite) suffer from the same inherent problems (barely any travel, hopelessly soft springs, no damping) that the Postie Bike does.
My mod improves all those aspects, but there's only so much that damper rod type forks can be made better.
For the 125, I'd stick with the standard springs (good on you for fitting new seals) but maybe just have a slightly higher oil level, so bottoming over Otago's many rocks is resisted just a little more.
Cheers,
Dave B
Has anyone test ridden, or will be riding a Honda NXR125 on the SBC? They seem well set up for a 125, with half decent suspension, seat doesn't look too bad, and they come standard with a rear rack for fuel, gear etc.
Basic specs follows:
12.5KW, 5-Speed, kick start, 19" front wheel, 17" rear wheel, drum brakes front and rear, Fuel capacity 12 litres, Weight 112 kg
There been some well priced ones on Tardme lately, for a lot less than $1500.
Here's a review from last year from one NZ owner:

Comments anyone?
We are not jumping in just yet for various reason but one of these is on the cards for my wife if she ends up doing the SBC. Good (low) seat height, seem to be reliable etc. Modern CT110 - nothing special but just keeps plodding???
I'm still keen to do it on something old, cheap and unreliable cause the crazy idea needs just a little more crazyness I recon![]()

Is there an AT3 still alive on this planet? I did 30000k on my last one between 1974 and 1977-only 3 pistons. Would love another one.

Cheers bro!!
Just thought the standard dusty butt was all to easy to accomplish (having never finished one myself!) so I thought we needed to up the stakes and make a real challenge out of it.
The progress on turning Dorris into a mini tenere is coming along. Put on a duro front tyre. Got all the bits to put my rally screen on now. Anyone got an oversize tank for an LT2?

Well that's just fine with me, I prefer coffee and toast anyway!
Here ya go zerax, poted this elsewhere but thought you might want to see it. headlights from a gsxr on the CT, they seem to run o.k. I'll make a bracket and mount them proply and give them a test run.
Just about wet myself when the bike fired up and they worked
Just a note about the Duro tyres - they are DOT legal. At least the one that El just put on the front is. Here is a link with sizes and a picture of the tyres. The rubber compound seems nicely soft enough to get good grip on seal/hardpack and the tread pattern is pretty aggressive for a tyre of that size.
I followed El round town for a short ride later yesterday and that little 100cc smoker fair hauls and goes around corners damn well! I want one LOL.
Man if you get that excited about the "Lil Baja" you should definitely get the bike down here
