Welcome!
I'm very sorry to hear about your father. You honour his memory by restoring his bike; I hope it gives you many happy miles. I don't know what kind of bike you have, but I know that the engine is very similar to a Honda CG125. Yours could be a 150 or a 200. The should be a number stamped on the side of the engine, near the gear shift. If you tell us that number, we might be able to tell you more. Is there any information on the steering head decal? |

:lol: :lol: :lol: http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...on/R6Shock.jpg |
Welcome to our forum. We appreciate you sharing your project with us.
I am also sorry to hear about your dad. My father was also murdered in 1973 when I was 8 and I still value those few things of his I have. The exact brand of your bike is not too important. For the most part a Honda clone Chinabike is the same as any other. Thanks for the pictures. Bill |
Thanks Fastdoc :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
|

If it was me for about the same money I'd make a MAJOR upgrade to a Trail Tech Vapor.
|
Some riders prefer mechanical speedometers. Mechanical speedometers are very durable, and usually last the life of the motorcycle, unlike the bike computers. ;) However, considering the huge markup on QLink parts, the QLink speedometer probably costs as much as the Trail Tech Vapor. 8O If that's the case, I would also prefer the Trail Tech Vapor. ;)
Spud :) |
Thanks Spud!! :lol: :lol: appreciate your Help i will do that.
|
i had looked at the Trail Tech Vapor, but i think the one on the Q looks so Nice, i will see what i do! thanks all for your suggestions, appreciated.
|
You could also look for a generic speedo on eBay, and hope that it suits your front wheel diameter and cable size.
Like this: Universal Dual Odometer Speedometer Meter Motorcycle Or this Royal Enfield unit: Royal Enfield Motorcycle Speedometer 0-160 KPH White The Royal Enfield speedometer has the benefit of instrument lights built in. If you could find a Royal Enfield to look at, you could determine if the cable and front wheel match your bike. |
Those are nice, analog speedometers, Weld! :D

Thanks for the support guys.. |
Speedo Update
Just order this: http://trailtech.net/endurance.html
i think is more the what i need.. thanks for the suggestions |
Great choice. I like the TT products and they seems like an outstanding value also. I considered that unit for my XR250R but decided to go with a $10 bicycle unit.
|
They look really cool, but I find analogue gauges much easier to read.
|
Finaly reunited with my china bike!! :lol: :lol:
Let the mods Begin...... I will keep you guys updated. |
So, you're back in the DR?

weld when i started this thread you ask me for a number to help me identify the bike Quote:
i already started to take the bike apart. today :lol: here are some pics.. http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...1215-00009.jpg http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...1215-00008.jpg http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...1215-00006.jpg This does Not look wrigth to me. :( http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...1215-00005.jpg And this is what the weather looks like 80 degrees, that mountain on the back ground is were i will like to take my bike is the cordillera central http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...1215-00012.jpg |
Thanks for the pics! Looking forward to pics in the mountains when you go riding. :D
The engine ID breaks down like this: 1 - one cylinder 57 - 57mm cylinder bore diameter F - air cooled M - motorcycle I - 125cc engine The rest of it is likely just serial info. What do you mean that the link does not look right to you? |
Thanks For the info Weld, for some reson this bike are branded X1000 here in DR, and by the way this is china bike paradise here, maybe is because is a 3rd world country :lol:
|
Ok so i did a fitting test on the R6 Shock nice bolt on upgrade, the bike feels like a totally deferent bike just by sitting on it and jumping on top of it, the adjustability on this shock is amazing it has that Honda,yamaha, and big name bike feel to it, "well it is a yamaha shock" i will take it apart again to install my raising kit, thats the Kungfu 250 dog-bone with the stock brace,
http://www.chinariders.net/modules.p...wtopic&t=13293 here are a few pics. http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...1216-00014.jpg http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...1216-00015.jpg already got my first problem the tail fender that i got is for zong and is alittle wider http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...1215-00010.jpg http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...1215-00011.jpg i will be putting the battery under the seat, there is plenty of room, also i removed the seat cover, new one going in i will be doing some mod, to the foam as well.. :lol: |
for some reason this bikes are branded X1000 here in DR, http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...1215-00013.jpg
so when i go to buy part i have to refer to the bike as X1000.. |
Ok. So i modded My seat Foam And seat cover is in. for some reason this bikes come with a big bump on the front of the seat and on the back as well. so i got a new hacksaw blade and a grinder and started to cut some foam of the back and front of the seat.
http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...1217-00039.jpg Here is what i did. http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...1217-00042.jpg http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...1217-00041.jpg http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...1217-00040.jpg Unfortunately i did not take pictures of the Foam after hitting it with the grinder And make in it nice and smooth, but here is the final product. PS. the Cover is not staple all the way. http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...1218-00053.jpg http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...1218-00052.jpg http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...1218-00051.jpg http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...1218-00050.jpg its all just put in place for fitting purpose that back bracket will be painted. i Also put together the kung fu dog bone with success. and it did the trick i am one Happy dominican.. :lol: :lol: :lol: http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...1218-00055.jpg http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...1218-00049.jpg http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...1216-00023.jpg The Bike Sits way higher then it did Before. i love the look.. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I have to say its a hole diferent feel to it feels like a CR :lol: |
