    Nice. It's a late one from the tank and someone has done a delete on the 'German helmet' mudguards - they look like CB200 ones. Lots of CB175 & 200 parts will fit, as will bits from the old CD175 sloper - if you can find them. I built one on the dole in the mid '80s starting with a partially stripped one I gave £15 for. It ended up a mutant with a CB175 head, twin carbs, CB200 head lamp bowl and Cibie halogen headlight (in the bargain bin at Motorcycle City), CB200 gearbox internals, 12v electrics (CB175 stator and reg/rectifier and battery box) Piranha ignition (CB200 again from a bargain bin), valve springs and thicker oil in the forks and Konis on the back and a CB175 twin leading shoe brake and 18" rim on the front. I kept the full chaincase and the 'German helmet' guards were the ABS ones from a CD sloper. It had a reversed rear steel clutch plate and an extra fibre plate and CB200 gearbox internals for the extra gear and the higher 'top'. It had a single CB200 silencer (bargain bin) with home-welded siamesed standard downpipes (yes you can) and the rear baffle de-restricted with a big drill. Paint was standard blue colour out of rattle cans. It revved like a Flymo and went very well, handled okay and I put over 50k miles on it with no problems. My Dad rode it after me for years as a ride-to-work until he lunched it on a roundabout and did himself a proper mischief. If you put it on the road, one thing you must do is regular 1500 mile oil changes and clean out the centrifugal oil filter every second change. Search on the Common Motorcycle collective in the US if you need info on how to - it's a simple job, but back in the day, people seemed not to do it. If you neglect the oil, it will knacker the cam and bearing caps. I've seen these with bright blue points end on the cam, worn down cams and followers, cam chain worn through to the tensioner pushrod bore, blown mains, seized pistons, you name it. And you're not the first guy to snap the kicker shaft, it used to happen quite a lot. And I've seen them twisted, return springs broken and seen them broken through the rear of the crank cases. Good luck.

      @anemone104 yeah they weren't one of Hondas better bikes. Poor design and cheap metal. When I first started looking at bikes an old guy I knew who fixed bikes told me never to go near a cd175. I never knew why he said that to me but now I know why. 🤣. It's running now. Took it for a spin yesterday but it started dicking around on me when it heated up. Not sure what it is yet. Carbs clean and petcock so it's not fuel related. There was a bit of oil leaking from the bottom of the barrell which is a bit of a worry. I'm looking for an original set of mudgards but theyr very hard to find

      @@damo690 They were designed down to a price - commuters don't want to pay more than they really have to. If used as a commuter, they were okay and a bit more able to live with traffic than a C50 plop. But if you tried to go fast a lot, you'd quickly come up against the limitations of the handling (no oil in rear shocks) brakes and 4 speed box. Honda did worse later (CD185 and 200 Benlys - again commuter bikes - and the CJ250 which was a grenade/lemon. The earlier sloper CD had a completely pressed steel frame and was a smaller, lighter bike with better handling, more 'go' and lasted better. They'd outlast and outperform any Brit of a similar size including Triumph 350s. I thrashed my R reg CD everywhere and put a ton of miles on it, but it was a mutant. Look at the auto advance for hot running issues. I had one that cracked where the central spindle meets the backplate. The bob-weight springs can go weak and the bob weights can go floppy on their little pivots due to long-term lack of lube. Might not be that, but it is a good place to look. Mudguards rot at the bridge for the fronts and on the bolt housings (spot welded) for the rears. Road dirt accumulates and stays wet and there was never much paint under there. I used the sloper guards that were ABS and excellent quality, but very rare. Those huge plastic side panels were thin and went brittle due to exposure to UV light. They're over 40 years old now so will be very frail. I used CB200 side panels, but I had twin carbs and CB200 air boxes. Plastic headlamp bowl is also very frail. Blue plastic lasted better than red. Alloy was fine. But like all Jap bikes of the period, those X-head (JIS) bolts went in dry in the factory. So UK wet and salt, plus steel in alloy meant electrolytic corrosion. Use a smear of grease when replacing and they were fine. In my experience, your old boy would have been right back in the day because the CBs were better all round and when old and used were only slightly more money. I liked my mutant CD. I learned a lot and it took me all over the southern half of the UK at a time when I was one of Maggie's millions.

      @markogojkovic5541 when I bought this bike I did not know how rare it was. It was only when I tried to find some of the model specific parts that I realised. The frame is away at the moment getting work done. I managed to pick up some brand new panels for it that came from a crashed bike when it was only 1 year old. So the panels are in extremely good condition and I won't need to paint them. I only need to have the frame powder coated and clean up all the other pieces. It should work out to be a nice bike when finished. I think I will keep it as I have put a serious amount of money into it now and it will be nice to have a lovely little bike to have fun on in summer times.

    When you did the head stock bearings do you just fit the ball bearings one by one i mean they dont come in a ring pre fixed i am replacing forks on same bike

    • @damo690
      @damo690 2 місяці тому

      @gymhull you need to hammer the old bearing recievers/cups out of the bike headstock and gently hammer the new ones in with a block of wood or rubber mallet. Then you need to get yourself some thick grease and slather it all over the ring on the forks and fit the bearings one by one very carefully. The grease will hold them in place if it's put on thick enough. It's a gentle job. Then when you have the bearings stuck to the forks, slide them into the headstock and onto let them slide out again or you may lose some bearings. After that is done just repeat the process on the top of the headstock by putting the bearings into the cup and screw the groved washer down on to them.

      @glowingtrees I only know it's a ceramic capacitor. But in most cases it's usually not blown it just requires re soldering on the bottom. Do be careful if opening an amp (just in case you don't know) capacitors can store a lot of power and if you don't drain the power from it before touching anything, you could get a nasty shock that in cases of tube amps especially could even kill you even if it's not plugged in anymore.

      Spoke to Doug, he said that the forks are usually very easy to strip, and to keep the springs in them to help with separation. Also, don't worry about the air bit, as it was really wasted on such small forks, and tends to pop seals, although the recommended pressure is only 2-5 psi, and in any case virtually impossible to measure accurately. Just treat them as non-air forks.

    Bike sounds sweet, choke issue could be the carbs want cleaning where it's been stood. I'd also just like to say be very careful jump starting the bike from a car as it's possible to blow a CDI! Unfortunately I know, as I did exactly that with a GSXR1100W some years ago. Lesson learned!

      Those GPS chips are well known for going bad. It's possible you purchased one that was also bad. We're you in a city environment or built up area when trying it out? If so then environment's like that are not great for those wee drones. I'd take it to an open place with no phone masts or pilons etc in the vecinity and try it out there. If it goes green there then the GPS chip is probably OK. I found mine just refused to go green in built up areas most of the time. The Mavic Mini is a way better drone for your money and version one or two can be picked up for very little

    Just a thought, but it might be worth considering a 150 barrel and piston. I have them on mine, and they do improve midrange power. I know I'm way behind the curve, but an engine that's not in the bike would be a lot easier to convert. An idea for the future, perhaps. You don't have to modify anything else if you stick to 150cc.

    • @damo690
      @damo690 11 місяців тому

      I definitely considered doing that, especially because I have a spare engine which I still have to open again and change the gearing system on. I just have to figure out the jetting if I do that. But the engine I have in the bike is a numbers matching engine making the bike valuable later on. I will devalue it if I put the spare engine into it. So I goy a bit of thinking to do before I do that.

      I had already replaced the valve stem seals at that stage but the plug was still getting fowled up with oil. I couldn't understand because I used a brand new head gasket. There should have been nothing wrong with it. But it turned out that the head gasket was faulty and that was eventually the issue after all my head scratching and messing for months as you will see as you follow the videos lol. Most of my early videos on this bike are quite long winded but I did try to shorten them a bit later on 😆.

      I originally was in search of a Honda cg125 1979 model because that model means a lot to me. My Dad had one for all my childhood and wasn't very mechanical minded. He never really looked after it. But I remember just how loyal that little bike was to him. Eventually towards the end of my Dad's career it became very hard to start and the kick-start spring broke. My brother and himself decided to strip it down and restore it and everything was completed ready to reassemble but it then lay fir over 25 years. I loved that bike and had so many good memories with it. I was going to take it from my uncle but before I could do that my brother took it and its still in pieces. I was so devastated. Of everything my family has, land, farm, house that ge could give me, all I wanted was that bike because it means so much to me. I said nothing and swallowed heart and decided I'd find one exactly the same some day. I was glad that happened in a way, because it opened a whole world to me I was never familiar with ( the world of learning and restoration). I prepared myself for how I would restore this bike, I learned every scenario from both very old engineers in my locality (Who were apsolute geniuses and very competen tengineers. I could tell you so many stories of how steam engines were found in a ditch snd were got running in the same day. Sadly those people are now gone, but not without passing on some knowledge. I was a good student. I don't understand everything but I try. Anyway, it was by chance when I was looking for a cg125 of my Dad's era that I came across this sorry piece of history. The engineers similar to Dad's so I bought it not knowing how rare it was. I've been on a journey to restore it from that day forward. It is going to happen soon but its been a long time in the making. I'll be proud to be the only owner that I know of in Ireland of a Hinda cb125 RS.
