Other Bikes / 1974 CB125 project
« on: August 09, 2013, 10:32:00 PM »
This one was unmolested (compared to my previous motorcycle purchases which had been worked over by poorly trained monkeys) but had been parked for many years.
Major disasters include:
Carburetor: Lower body around jets oxidized away.
Front Disc Brake: Rusted solid, parts not available.
Throttle Cable and Front Brake Cable: Rusted solid, no longer manufactured.
Success stories:
Replacement carburetor body sourced locally.
Front disc brake was attacked with penetrating fluid and naval jelly and moves after a week.
Cables can be custom made by Motion Pro.
She has decided that she likes this one (quite a surprise since she mostly ignores the others).
