We had a most excellent day today at the DGR.

New Battery Box
I made a new battery box today, removed the stock one and fitted pod air filters. I’ve also ordered a whole lot of main jets so I can get it jetted just right ?
Thinking it will be black
I tried the CG125 fuel tank on and it fits quite well.
I have now ordered a new black fuel tank and Honda wing badges to go on it.
Also thinking if ditching the air box and going with some pod air filters.
Next job is to find some spoked wheels for it. That’s going to be tricky….
Ready for Re-Registration
The CB125T is coming along nicely.
It’s all ready for Re-Registration next Friday 🙂
New Project- Honda CB125T
I stumbled across a fairly rare 1982 CB125T at Cooks Honda New Plymouth.
The lovely high reving twin cylinder engine meant that it just had to be rescued 🙂
Tralees Honda CG125 Street Tracker almost finished
Tim and I made loads of progress this weekend. Just the front mudguard to make, chain guard to install and then the dreaded electrics…..

Honda CBR250R
I picked up this 1989 Honda CBR250R last weekend. It needed a good clean up, but has two brand new tires and seems to start and run well. Only 32,000Km’s too.
New oil cooler fitted
looking “cool”
Chrome Carburetor and Taller Gearing
I fancied a bit more bling so fitted a chrome carburetor. Changed the front sprocket to a 17 tooth as well. It will now do an indicated 120Km/h flat out . OK on the motorway cruising at 90-100Km/h now. The bigger sprocket was just what it needed. Not sure about all the yellow though. I will change the tubes and paint the choke lever black.
Bought another bike on a whim today
Saw this RG150E on Facebook market place today. Went to see it. Owner says has had full engine rebuild (piston, cylinder, crankshaft, con-rod, main bearings, even new crankcases), water pump, clutch. He couldn’t get it to run right. Has WOF and rego, so home it came.
Fork preload adjusters installed
These were a bit of a nightmare to fit. They had the wrong thread when they arrived. I had to machine the old thread off and buy an M26x1.0mm die to cut the thread to right size.
