New Arrival- 1976 Honda CF50 Chaly

March 6, 2021Honda CF50 Chaly-1976, Motorbikesandrew

A friend put me onto this Honda Chaly, selling locally.

Pressed buy now on Friday, picked up on Saturday 🙂

Much work to do.

 

New Seat Cover

February 27, 2021Honda CG125-1977-Silver, Motorbikesandrew

Picked up this seat cover from Aliexpress for $18 delivered. Never again will I try and fit one. It put up quite a fight.

Rear Wheel on the Silver CG gets new spokes

February 26, 2021Honda CG125-1977-Silver, Motorbikesandrew

I tried tightening some of the spokes on the silver ones rear wheel and ping! I broke one. Stripped the wheel and re-laced with new, thicker, heavy duty spokes. Looks mint now ?

Engine has to come out

February 22, 2021Honda CG125/CG110-1980-Goldie, Motorbikesandrew

I tried to start it, it locked up solid. Turns out the big end bearing has failed. Fortunately I have another good used crankshaft to install. Now to wait for a piston and gasket set.

Engine installed

February 5, 2021Honda CG125/CG110-1980-Goldie, Motorbikesandrew

Getting there, engine installed. I spun it with a drill to get some oil pressure up and sprayed oil everywhere ? At least I know the oil pump works ? Carb still to clean and seat cover to fit.

Engine painted.

January 31, 2021Honda CG125/CG110-1980-Goldie, Motorbikesandrew

Got the engine prepped and painted today. Came up mint! I also did a leak down test and it passed with flying colours— with Beverley Dodd.

Electrics sorted

January 30, 2021Honda CG125/CG110-1980-Goldie, Motorbikesandrew

Good progress today. We fitted the new front tire, sorted out the handlebar switch gear, indicators, connected all the electrics, removed the old seat cover, fitted a steering lock, tested the electrics with a battery, fitted rear brake light switch and horn. Coming together nicely ?

Helper

January 24, 2021Honda CG125/CG110-1980-Goldie, Motorbikesandrew

My helper was present today. Once she has built it she can ride it.

 

Building a roller

January 16, 2021Honda CG125/CG110-1980-Goldie, Motorbikesandrew

Managed to find some really decent Michelin tires in the correct sizes. The front is due soon so I’ve just fitted another front wheel with a tire that hold air for now while I wait.

Small parts

January 11, 2021Honda CG125/CG110-1980-Goldie, Motorbikesandrew

I used the magic paint stripper on some small parts. Works a treat.

Front forks

January 9, 2021Honda CG125/CG110-1980-Goldie, Motorbikesandrew

The front mudguard mounting lugs were broken so I had to make up a set from parts. New seals and good stantions and they are good to go.

Wheels

January 8, 2021Honda CG125/CG110-1980-Goldie, Motorbikesandrew

Some one had painted the nice chrome rims. I found an excellent paint stripper and they have come up almost as good as new.
