CG125 K1

Well I'm just going to use this thread as a tuning one instead. Finally got a carb ordered, as the 1970's honda ones seem like a a real load of curse word

Its a Genuine Mikuni Vm22, £20 brand new.



Also, I was bored at the workshop, so I fabbed up a chavvy exhaust rear section, wich I think painted in hi-temp black with laquer should look really cool next to the chrome shocks ;D



The bare end is the part that joins to the header, just under the footpeg, and the end will come up near the shock.

Finally, there is a certian look I'm going for, and I don't really know what its called. Y'know, blacked out wheels with big tyres, and all that. Who knows, I might even extend the swinger a bit

So heres a picture of what I mean. The bikes actually a CG110.



Any ideas for tuning or making it look better are welcome

Forgot to ask, Earlier in the thread scaryoldcortina said that he skimmed his head for 11.5/1 compression. Does anyone know how much to skim? And where could i get it done in essex?

thanks

Awesome, I used to have one of these.
Sold it when I moved to Thorrington near colchester.
Keep up the good work

Thanks for the link terraroot, i'll have to check that out

I got the block and barrel back in, and I am now just waiting on the higher compression copper head gasket. After thats arrived its plain sailing to put it back together (hopefully )

That exhaust is joined to the header aswell, so i'll have to get some pics up

Thanks

Cheers slater, i just might have to give him a ring

The bike is all together and running now, its got a thinner base gasket and a thinner headgasket, so compressions pretty good now I'm not sure if i'll definately get the head done, because i want to keep it reliable .

That exhaust i made works great, and doesnt sound to bad either Now ive just got to set up the carb properly .

I'll get up some pictures when the DSLR is charged up

Cheers

Just about to upload a vid, youl neeed to turn up the volume

I'll keep an eye out

Just cant get the bloody vid to upload

Well the engine side of it is all done now, and as you can imagine it sounds pretty good with that pipe too

Yep its loud!

I took it out on a private road today to set up the carb, and judging by the plug its spot on
One slight prolem, top speed is 45 Yes, 45. Its got loads of torque but it just doesnt want to rev. I think it may be the timing, any ideas?

Thanks
