triumph...tristan Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 After wanting a little run a round bike for a while i finally got lucky and found a decent one. I took the bike in for a wof right away and to my surprise the bike went straight though after sitting for 2 years. i never thought small bikes could be so fun! ive been riding this thing everyday. I dont wanna get to drastic with modifications but im wanting to: Paint the wheels black, Get rid of the mud guards make/purchase a smaller seat, get some smaller lights, and possibly some lower bars. 4 Quote
triumph...tristan Posted January 8, 2018 Author Posted January 8, 2018 This weekend i decided the pull the front mud guard and the luggage rack off. I then painted the wheels and bottom of the forks to see what that would look like, im pretty happy with the way it looks so far, I just need to get rid of the chunky seat and the rear mud guard as soon as possible. 4 Quote
triumph...tristan Posted January 9, 2018 Author Posted January 9, 2018 I'm not really impressed with the seqeunce of the gearbox, is there another engine I can put in so I can have the gears all up,I know the later cg125 engines are 1 down 4 up. And should I paint the engine black then sand the fins back? I'm really enjoying this project! Quote
triumph...tristan Posted March 29, 2018 Author Posted March 29, 2018 I am able to get a complete gl145 does any body know if the engine will fit in this and will be a good engine? Thanks Quote
triumph...tristan Posted April 4, 2018 Author Posted April 4, 2018 @Flauski Sweet, I picked up the bike today, I'm wanted to get cheap Rego would you know of any old honda bikes for sale with some 1970s plates? Or even just plates? Thanks yeah I can sell it. Quote
triumph...tristan Posted April 4, 2018 Author Posted April 4, 2018 Sweet the i picked up the Honda Gl145 today, it runs sweet, has a bit more go then the Cg125 sounds cooler too haha! both bikes share the same engine mounts so thats handy. The Gl has all the good stuff, a 5 speed gearbox with a normal gear configuration, better front end with a disc brake, a longer swing arm with a bigger drum brake, plus 18 inch wheels all round, im sure theres other good bits too! but it should spice up the Cg nicely, The only thing i need is cheaper rego, so if any body knows of any 1970s cbs or cgs around or even just some plates so i can get them revinned, let me know.

triumph...tristan Posted April 5, 2018 Author Posted April 5, 2018 Im also wanting to find a cool looking tank, i recently saw one with a cb200 tank and it looked awesome, so i wouldn't mind finding one. Heres what it looks like with a cb550 tank, It dosent look as out of place as i thought it would off haha. looks pretty sweet. 2 Quote
triumph...tristan Posted April 5, 2018 Author Posted April 5, 2018 Has any one had much to do with these gl145 engines? theres like no information about them anywhere, The carburetor has a accelerator pump on it, and i was just wondering if it would be fine to just chuck another carb on without one? the cg dosent have one, and that runs sweet! and i read somewhere that these are similar to xr motors, so would i be able to just bolt on a xr185 or xr200 barrel? any help would be appreciated. thanks Quote
Flauski Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 An old bike of mine. CB200 tank on a Cb125 frame with GL145 swing arm and GL145 front end (ex-bucket racer) From memory the CB200 tank was too wide at steering stem end, and longer so not a bolt-on option. And same deal with CB50 tank (tank longer + didn't fit over frame but fitted at steering head end...) Aaaaand, same again with early model CB100/CB125 tank (think someone on here might actually own this bike now? Saw it at DGR Wellington 2017 with the same pink tank and butterfly decal) 2 Quote
Ahika07 Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 Hey mate. Just wondering if the cb200 tank fits the gl145 frame without need for modification?? Quote
