im about to go look at this 76' cb125 that i found on craigslist. it has 3500 miles on it and it doesnt run. needs a battery and has stale gas in it. its only $200 and im looking for some kind of a project. my plans are to maybe build a cafe' racer out of it. i was wondering if there was a really good site for buying classic bike parts from. i have searched a little and couldnt find much. also i was wondering if anyone has done like a 125 motor from an 80's cb125. i know they run 6 volt and the newer ones are 12 volt. is there any good build threads. thanks in advance.

 

You should post pictures of the bike you find. Its a damn shame to see people chop up perfectly good CB's just to "cafe" them.

 

well the bike is a little beat up and all of the chrome is pitted but i will get a better look weds and im def getting it so i will post pics asap

 

I don't know websites to order parts from, but you can browse around www.dotheton.com and see if you can find some info. That's a big cafe forum. Also advrider.com has an old school section.

 

well the problem now is that the bike has no title. the tags place told me that no matter what i need to have an original title to get a new title. and the guy who has the bike is not the original owner nor was it ever put in his name. im tryin to find a frame with a title for it but i cant find anything. motorcycleframes.com only have as low as cb400 and no cb125. on ebay i found a 75 frame with title but it will not work with the 76'. uuuugggghhhh i dont know what to do. if anyone knows where i could get a frame i would appreciate it.

 

well im not buying it. the guy doesnt even know who used to own it so im not going to waste time and money on this thing.

 

good call about walking on the bike due to title. It's a PITA.
