Mop Head Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Here’s my favourite ever NBC type Honda. It’s the Dream from Thailand. I dunno why more people don’t like them. They scrub up real nice. Yours is looking mint! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datlow Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 Cheers man yeah figured for 337.33 even if it was toast I could use it for parts for my c50 but seems to be running mint, just need to seal a few oil leaks went for a night ride and discovered the speedo didn’t light up figured since I had the cluster apart and the handle bar loose I’d chuck my old cx500 straight bars on, also remembered I had a speedo too so on that went 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datlow Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 On 25/10/2018 at 22:04, datlow said: got enthused and removed handle bars and gauge cluster from my honda nbc/postie and installed some bars and a speedo (from dimecity with led warnings/backlights) wired up with a seemingly pretty shitty ali "waterproof" connector only indicators worked found a better connector and found that i had a couple of wires round the wrong way (because theyre led) but i now have no headlight ( its AC) and the led for highbeam on the speedo aint working even with direct 12v from a battery checked rectifier and it doesnt have any output for the yellow light wire ac or dc im assuming the led shorted the circuit and has blown the rectifier? So yeah that happened, whilst looking for a wiring diagram (figured should be similar to a grom which is popular in USA and lots of english sites) found you could buy a rectifier that just puts out dc for the lights so can also run led lights I stumbled across this http://tripageled.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=182 so just need a jumper wire to the DC brake circuit seems easy and free there was a aux switch already wired into the brake circuit for a extra taillight that I assume they used on the post bag that would of been on the back so chopped that and put into the headlight wire from the rectifier hey presto I now have switchable headlights and working led display 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datlow Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 Oh and I had taped up the unused light holder from the original dash yeah they’re made of squishy rubber prob what actually killed the rectifier added bonus of now using dc circuit is its fused too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post datlow Posted November 4, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2018 The front fairings are pretty crap so decided I’ll try some lace painting on them, came out pretty good although ones def got a bit more green thus brighter but meh 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datlow Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 Also pulled the rear wheel of to check the brakes (they are fine and bigger than older cubs just to make it a pain/won’t swap with my other bike) the bearing was toast and had been spinning in the housing so replaced front and rear bearing and loctite in old cub manual says to fill with grease ( nzpost clearly never have) figured id just leave them sealed both sides as they’re pretty cheap to replace and minimal mess 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datlow Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 Oh and every time a hit the curb into my driveway what I thought was the front shocks was actually the loose head bearing so removed cleaned greased and tightened soo much smoother/maybe a bit tight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datlow Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 And for the trifecta of shit servicing the brake pedal felt crappy and was hitting the exhaust turns out it should have a cotter pin stopping it from sliding out, should also be greased its worn the hangers oval but It’ll be ok/might look at some sort of bush in the future so lubed and put a nail in the slot (will find a washer and pin today) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datlow Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 so list nbc on trademe and sold yesterday (unfortunately only one bid but meh), being collected this weekend so will have some room for the latest purchase On 20/03/2019 at 13:51, datlow said: working on buying more bikes so theres not enough room in my shed to work on them... bought this Got it cheap but dereg and missing half the wiring and lights etc then this popped up on fb with reg on hold but not running reckon I should be able to make one from the two Keen for this style so first one is a cb125t with comstars missing/cut up wiring apparently needs coils to run... but has twin carbs second is a cm125t with wire wheels appears to be all there but wouldnt start for previous owner (nothing happened when key turned yet batterys charged so will have to get out the meter) this ones single carb looking on line they seem to be all about the same power (something to do with a 125cc & power limit for this kind of bike?) anyone have any knowledge on these, which ones best motor wise/anyone need parts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datlow Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share Posted July 7, 2019 glad i found this on the net before i tried starting the blue bikes motor, looks like ive got a 180 and a 360 crank so will have to find some wirirng diagrams to rewire the green bike to run the other motor (that should have more power-rev better) "The CB125T, whether early 6v and points or later 12v and CDi ignition, has a 180 degree cranks; one piston up, one piston down. Consequently it needs two seperate ignition circuits, with two seperate ignition coil to provide sparks at the right time. Coil you describe, with two High Tension leads to both spark plugs is possibly from a 360 degree crank engine, that has both pistons rising and falling together, or is a generic 'pattern' replacement. On the 360 crank motors, only one ignition circuit is needed, triggering both spark plgs similteniousely, once per engine revolution. One piston will be aproaching TDC on the compression stroke, with a charge in the pot the spark will ignite; other slug will be rising on the exhaust stroke, with smoke in the pot, and a spark in there wont really do much, so firing plugs to gether saves some hassle. On next cycle, it will be the other way around. Almost all the small honda twins APART from the CB125 have 360 cranks; the engine could be from a CM125 'Custom', a CA125 'Rebel' a CD125 'Benley', could also be a 200 engine from CD or CM, or even 233cc from a CB250 'nighthawk' or CM250 Rebel... So before going any further we need to bottom what you got; becouse I suspect its a mongrel. CM125 motors in CB125's are common swap. They are bolt-for bolt directly interchangeable with the CB engine, as they are bilt on teh same crank cases and use the same barels and heads. The CB's are revvy little things tuned for 13 or 17bhp dependant on guise; the CM's & CD's are sloggers, tuned for reliability & ecconomy making around 10-11bhp at best; they make good donor's becouse they dont tend to be worth as much, and less stressed, they dont get so thrashed to pieces.

datlow Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 Been lazy, stripped the Cm125t had parts vapour blasted Fuel tank suprisingly only had 2 dents under several layers of paint and full coat of bog have it as work to try and remove dents then hopefully get it powder coated had forks and front rim powdercoated, bought a complete ali rear wheel (wider rim and bigger spokes), bought some spokes for the front but they may be a tad too long reckon they look nice tho now to mock up and find some tyres and tubes to fit got a s/h cheapy 120/90-17 but it’s too wide 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post datlow Posted November 5, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2019 Turns out it kinda fits the back have installed og longer shocks back in then went to install brakes but the drum bar? Didn’t clear the Tyre so stole one of the dirt bike that’s longer and welded a kink in it bought a shinko 700 4.60-17, juuuuust fits the front (should buy on for the back too) what it kinda looks like atm (Didn’t take one with longer rear shocks) 3 weeks till Ueraweras..... 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datlow Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 Got enthused this arvo and did a bit more matty b the tank as it’s bare steel (can’t decide what/how to paint it properly ) fitted chain and a sr244 golden boy to the rear as they’d run out of matching 700 that’s on the front big boy tyres are a ball ache to change Went to roll it of the bench only to discover that the centre stand locks up on the knobs ditched that, got it on the ground and it now has the mean gangster lean on the side stand have found a longer xl125 one that I’ll mod and fit 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
