CB125K3 - Future Project
royhall:
Yes agreed a nice little project. Fortunately they are a quite straight forward simple bike. You should have fun rebuilding that.

Lovely little bikes with very high revving engines 5-speed gearboxes much sought after by CB92 Benly owners.
Very few imported officially to UK even though it was featured in the Honda UK brochure.
Ash did put an nice scan of that brochure on here a few years back but it's sadly got lost in the server swap.
Member RGP750 ( Richard) on here has a genuine UK one he is just finishing totally rebuilding with lots of NOS goodies (exhausts) . Ash rebuilt the starter and coil for it and softened the inlet rubbers I believe.

I’m pretty sure the handlebars aren’t genuine but not certain. The wiring from them is a braided type cable.
Is there any way of finding out for sure the country of origin of the bike?

Hard to say as a bit of a mish-mash of parts. Does it have km/hr speedo ? If so it could be French or JDM (very popular in Japan), doesn't have a UK rear lamp bracket and hasn't got the German style rear lamp arrangement. Bars look typical Yank aftermarket though.
Probably about 1971 manufacture I reckon.
Craizeehair:
It has a km/ph speedo, I was talking to the chap I bought of from and he has some recollection of there being talk of French origins but he can say for sure.
I’m going to leave this for now as I have the CB350 on the lift and this one is taking me away from that.
But one last thing if I may?
DSS has carbs for the French, German and Swedish models. Does anyone know, it matter if this bike isn’t one of those, what would be the difference if fitting them?
