Meet "Blue Boy" and the 125

1972 CB100 left and 1974 CB125 right. Acquired from a high school teacher of mine. Looks like I'll be escaping with new batteries, oil change, standard tune-up maintenance/adjustments and floats for the carbs. Everything else has cleaned up really well. CB100 is running (accrued 120mi so far) and 125 is sparking with compression awaiting carb parts.

UPDATE: So, I've put about 500mi on the 100. Despite an oil leak it has developed from the clutch cover, it runs reasonably well. The 125 is leaking badly from the head and is very lacking in power. I haven't done a leak down on it yet, but my guess is at least reseating the valves and a new head gasket. Both the covers on both the bikes were removed to be painted and I'm assuming no new gaskets were used :/ So, some new gaskets on the covers would probably sort the leaks out.
 

July 4th

So it's been a while since I've posted... I got a new co-pilot on Wednesday,

Did an oil change on the motorcycle (eeewwww magnetic drain plug)

Then I tapped the drain bolt up to the next size because somehow I stripped it out???? (still trying to figure out how that happened)

Then I removed the old ball hitch insert from the 78 hitch I installed on Old Yeller that was rusted in place.... An oscillating tile cutter, a tow chain, pb blaster and a sledge hammer were involved...

 

I also helped Sam finish a resurrection maxi that we kitted... fun bike. The 70cc TCCD, circuit, phbg combo really worked well (except for the air filter haha). The weekend isn't out yet... we'll see what else I do ;)

UPDATE: So today is the 6th and I hooked my phone into my bike... So pumped to have non-dead phone at a rally finally. No battery on the bike either - 100% regulated smoothed power straight from the stator. Maxes out at 12.5VDC right above idle and stays there till redline.
