[@briantrend1812]

absolutely beautiful

[@bjrnolsen9533]

I personally would position the headlamp lower to compliment the line following the tank and the seat, but great build👌

[@erivandellavega8881]

Já sei o que vou fazer com a 85

[@edmonte7332]

The seat made it a million times better

[@eddiecaplan1908]

Hey matt !, brilliant bike!!, the end result looks fantastic!, About 20 years ago, i did a cg125, circa 1984ish??, my mods, were complete rewire, rear seat subframe repaired with piece welded on from yamaha dt 175, those rubbish chrome mini tacho and speedos , and twin headlights from rectangular car foglamps, straight handlebars, triumph or b.s.a megaphone , alloy seat baseplate, covered with dark green leather from girlfriends old sofa !!, the only major problem i found was after fitting a k&n filter, it took forever to get the mixture/jetting right, but eventually got it right!!!

[@MrDEANOSCOOLVIDS]

easier to keep the airbox and keeps it sfe from water but it looks cool exposed

[@ypcgnx7766]

Excellent projet, sacrément bien mené avec un superbe résultat ! Bravo.

[@alejozibulsky]

simple but beautiful love it Great job

[@gleyssonconceicao5334]

lindo de mas seu trabalho

[@kawishjaved6376]

The Honda CG 125 is still one of the best selling bikes in Pakistan same design. There is a Chinese brand here called Lifan they sell a really cool fresh out of factory cg125 cafe racer with a 150 Shelby engine on a 125 chassis. For thoes who don't know about it I recommend to check it out

[@beardywally]

I want one so badly!!

[@bryantherocker]

beautiful matte green bike :)

[@adrielsantos334]

Ficou top parabéns amigo 🙋

[@dunstanhawk7367]

Great looking machine. I’m just in the process of having something similar built and would like mine to end up similar. Enjoy!

[@MrMarty]

Thanks Wayne 👍🏼👍🏼

[@anatoliy6413]

Был когда то нормальный мотоцикл

[@Rudy24244]

Nice job, I would go with matte black shock absorbers, the chrome stands out too much.

[@fabio_soares.s]

Projeto top 👏👏

Quedó muy buena!!!

[@adhiahad]

Cool bike

[@glebsonramosdasilva354]

Amigo ficou demais, agora eu lhe pergunto como fica com a polícia na blitz, pois com o quadro serrado e complicado né?

[@HowlingWolfLeather]

The original tank looks awesome! What year is the bike?

[@MrMarty]

1992

[@luizhenriquemoraismazzucco4526]

good

[@gawain6645]

Beautiful. Will get in teouble to use it without the mirrors and indicators? Unfortunately, because looks so clean.

[@dinkledan9040]

If you use it in the streets yes you'll be in trouble. Safety>Style. If you want to ride the streets without mirrors and indicators ride a bicycle. A motorized vehicle on the street without indicators and mirrors is a hazard to everyone especially the one using it.

[@koburza2221]

Fue una locura lo que hiciste ☹️🤯 y las piezas originales las conservas?

[@fatimasantos1852]

Show parabéns

[@Gjfunkymonkey]

Awsome build matt ! can i ask what tyres you used ?

[@marcelinho122]

Very +++good! Don't batery?

[@MrMarty]

Replaced with a capacitor

[@sohailshaikh7761]

Super

[@markerasmus]

This is freaking awesome! Absolutely love the end result. Would you say a project like this is doable for a novice with any mechanical knowledge or experience with motorcycle internals? I would love to do a cafe racer build, but I'm definitely in the scraping the bottom of the beginners barrel.

[@olivertisdall-mitchell8030]

Yea bro i've just finished my own 84 CG and i'm 19 with minimal knowledge of mechanics. Just take pictures of everything and label up.

[@matheustorres9987]

Estou montando uma azul tbm 😁

[@jorgi8175]

Eae mn,vc costumizou ela estilo café racer ? Se foi quanto tu gastou mais ou menos ?

[@michaeldrakonakis8474]

Hi Matt, love the bike, and I’m doing something similar with a CG125. Just wondering what the case was that you used for electrical under the seat? Looks like a plastic triangular case?

[@andersonalvesa2]

Pra quem nao sabe esse modelo e exclusivo do Brasil se existe e outro país e por meio de exportação...

[@cassiooliveira3625]

Qual foi esse modelo de pneu usado?

[@EECovers]

Beautiful work! The seat is right for two people? (Sorry for my english)

[@karlbanks9843]

Looks awesome. Im looking to start a similar project. If you dont mind me asking, how much did this all cost ?

[@damiankunz9647]

Year? Of the original bike BTW I love this build 😍

[@MrHuntVideos]

91-94

[@spaldychops]

Where did you get the seat, tail lights, and speedo from? I'm currently struggling with finding these parts for mine, although the seats are all on eBay, it's just finding the correct one that fits! Great job btw.

[@MrMarty]

Hi Arran thanks for the comment, I bought most of the parts from eBay they are all generally universal fit. The speedo was a kph and managed to fix it to a spare bolt hole near the bar mount. And the standard speedo cable was used. Tail light was a cheap eBay part again, made to fit using a metal plate and the sides cut off to allow the smaller number plate. The seat again was a universal with a plate made up and a bar welded across the frame then nut and bolted together. Hope this helps and good luck!

[@spaldychops]

Matt Squires Ahh right, I thanks for that. I think I'll buy a universal seat off of eBay then, was it difficult to fit the holding bar onto it? I think I could get a speeding into the mount that holds the current honda one, did you tape up the ends of the lights that come on when you indicate? It's good fun to work on but it's difficult to navigate all of these changes at once hah!! Thanks for the info, I'll keep all this in mind.

[@perfektrepairs7934]

Anyone know what handle bars to use for a scrambler Cg build please

[@MrMarty]

Ey buenos días, tengo una 125 y kiero emprender un viaje de unos 250 km. Que me recomiendas que lleve. Claro que no tengo prisa y a mi edad soy precavido .

[@Thefloppyearedcyclist]

Question (Great job by the way!) My wiring loom is shot, did you buy a new loom?? Or work with what you had? Granted yours wasn't probably old and splitting to bits. Thanks!

[@MrMarty]

Hi, thanks for the comment. I worked with what I had. Tbh there is not a lot to it and you can find a wiring diagram only and repair the sections you need to 👍🏼

[@Amiro1990]

fking B..E..A..U..T..I..F..U..L !!!

[@joshuajeffery7613]

I'm looking to start a project like this, what year base did you use to start? Anything to look out for?

[@MrMarty]

Older model with flat bottom tank, easier to keep a straight line through the bike! Approx. 1992 MY
