That looks like a couple of good mods. I fitted CBF125 forks to my Innova, but used a CG125 front wheel. That’s given me loads of problems with disc alignment, wheel spacer measurements, etc, but it works now, and seems good. At least with your drum brake you don’t have brake alignment probs, just get the torque rod sorted and wheel spacers right and you’re there! I really like the look of that little bike, and the Honda engine was surely specially made to fit that frame… thanks. Les

Thanks Les. Yeah, nothing too drastic, but certainly an improvement. It's a very tight fit indeed, but it did work out really well. It makes it really good fun to ride on the road as well, up to 40mph it's a hoot!

I've found that once you get your handlebars just right, the front end is a little light. I just accept a bit of a crouch.

[@whatsintheworkshop4478]

Yeah, I think the riding position is acceptable now. Previously it was quite difficult to see where you were going as you were bending down so far! It's still not quite ideal, but close enough.
