What year is it?

'84

Ok. When I get some spare time I'll see if I can find any info for you.

I appreciate it.

@Freiheit - CA There are a few on eBay for $75-$200. Brand new and used ones for 1984 CB125S. Do you have aftermarket forks or just want more clearance than you've got from the factory?

It's an aftermarket tank...someone put an '85 tank on it and it's too short.

The front cushion stops are too far back.

The annoying thing is that a lot of these old bikes are still in production in Asia, but some specs are slightly off.

Here's just one listing WITH dimensions of the bottom of tank. Says it fits your bike. https://www.ebay.com/itm/US-Motorcycle-9L-2-4-Gallon-Cafe-Racer-Fuel-Gas-Tank-Tap-Key-For-Honda-CG125/372374946917?fits=Model%3ACB125S%7CMake%3AHonda&epid=28021622666&hash=item56b346c465:g:t6sAAOSwTU9bUa95#vi-ilComp

The CG is close, but I need a length of 58cm from bolt hole center to pad mounts...I may just get one, ~$80 isn't too bad for a rust free tank...if it doesn't work I can find a buyer.

I'd assume they're pretty popular right now as a lot of people are modding out older bikes into cafe style.

Yeah, I want to make one, but at the moment I'm just rebuilding this for a commuter, it was parked for a decade and now I'll be riding it to work.

Cafe bikes are cool lookin

I might Cafe a 175 in the near future, or just buy one that has already been modded. I eventually need something freeway legal in Commiefornia, and 175 has almost the same mileage. Want to take longer trips.

I've been burned on part dimensions before like seat lengths &c.

Nice- that'll be a fun project for sure! I've been looking for some other i.e. guys who ride

There's a bunch, I'm just getting into it TBH

I've ridden for years, but just got a different bike recently. I'm tall, so I've always gotta mod them out a bit to fit me lol

Makes sense.

They don't quite make them in difference sizes.

My first bike was a 78 (I think) cb250

Nice.

The CBs are cool.

Yeah they've got a nice style. And reliable as hell

Plus easy to work on too

Yup, if I remember to flip all the right switches before I kickstart, it lights up every time.

I have to half choke usually.

I miss the Kickstarter. My new (2005) bike only has electric start.

Yeah, my low-key goal was to find a bike that was cheap but was EMP hardened...more mechanical the better.

Well gotta work in the am, I'm headed off to bed. Nice chatting with you and good luck on the tank man!

Thanks, I appreciate the help.

Any of you nibbas know how to drive a 3 on the tree?

Don't worry I figured it out.

@Der Seeteufel - SD are you bringing that beauty out to CO?

I'll ask my boss, who owns it, but it doesn't do good in snow so probably not.

Is that an international?

Hopefully we won't have to worry about snow..
