Default New winter project

This weeks trip back home to visit the folks has yielded a new winter project

I was helping to clear out the garage/ loft and came across this box of bits:


Further investigation of surrounding boxes yielded more and more parts. Turns out its my dads first ever motorbike from 1967. He sold it a few years later, but as chance would have it it was traded into my uncles shop about 10 years later in a very sorry state. My dad got it from my uncle with the intention of restoring it, but it's sat in storage ever since

So it's now my project



Need another trip to collect engine/ tank and other stuff as there wasn't enough room in my car. suprisingly the frame and swing arm were in good condition so I cleaned them up and dropped them at a mates bodyshop for painting. They have come up really well

Other bits need more work, like the rear mudguard where some idiot welder has bodged repairing a crack really badly





Hopefully it can be salvaged.

Question is can anybody guess what it is?

I've seen frames like that before but can't tell what it is, I'm thinking a Honda, but its really before my time.

Whatever it is I like the project already so keep us updated, and good luck with the build.

It's a Honda CD 90 or CD125.

Looks like great fun.
They are fairly simple to work on. You have a good looking frame and engine parts off later models of the same displacement will work so you should have no trouble getting the bits you need to get her going again.

Not quite, to make things easier its from the same maker as the fabled SV

Had a look over the engine, looks like it should be ok all internals don't seem to have any damage. Could do with a new cylinder though as a few of the cooling fins are missing
