Just introducing myself..... Former Honda mechanic now just dabbling with my personal "playbikes".....
Considering installing a 125 Lifan engine into a Honda C-200 (originally a 90 cc pushrod engine)....With a little Cafe' style....

Welcome! Cool bike! 8)

Welcome, Steve!

I fixed your pic for you. I'm actually building something similar out of an old YB100 and a China 110 motor. I picked a 110, because after 111cc, you pay the same rate as a 400 in my area.

Did you know Azriel Strife from the twins forum? He's a member here as well.

Thank you all for the welcome...

MICRider · 11-07-2012, 07:49 AM

What year is your bike? I had an old SS125 (I think) that had a very similar look... Except I think mine had a regular front end, and my cylinder was upright... Lol, it was so long ago I can't remember!

66Sprint · 11-07-2012, 06:02 PM

The bike is probably about a 64 from the serial, but was titled in 66.....

To give it that "Racer" look and feel, I swapped a 350 DLS drum wheel into those narrow forks.... Had to do a lot of fabrication to get it there...LOL.... Added a homemade glass seat and a few more changes, and it's well on its way to my vision of t....

MICRider · 11-07-2012, 08:07 PM

Looks sweet, I love the front end! Yours looks way nicer than my old SS did. Here's what it looked like, not my bike (it burned), just a pic I found on the net

66Sprint · 11-07-2012, 09:42 PM

Very cool!... I love the look of the "sloper" twin cylinder engines, and that bike has one similar to the bike I'm trying to emulate/suggest with my build.....The CB93....

You guys are amking me sad I missed out on that CB100, but grateful I have Little Sweetie, my CB175.

BTW, Steve was a BIG HELP with technical advise in Little Sweetie's restoration.

66Sprint · 11-09-2012, 09:03 PM

Thanks Bill.....
Is there a "project log" section here?

SpudRider · 11-09-2012, 09:30 PM

Steve, we would love to have you document your project with a thread in our Other Stuff Forum.

66Sprint · 11-10-2012, 03:40 AM

Cool!...I'll do just that.... Maybe some of my semi-insane modifications will inspire someone else to venture into practical considerations territory.....
I try to get an image of what I'd like the finished bike to look and perform like, and then step-by step (read trial and error) my way there....
The fun is in trying something different....LOL.....
