Tidy bike, ratty wiring

Michael’s Honda CG125

Michael has grown up in a bike racing family, and though young he is already very handy with the spanners. This Brat style CG125 is his project, and really well finished. He didn’t want a brake light, horn or indicators, which is a bit impractical but hey ho.

It arrived with the loom disembowelled, but there wasn’t much to do: Just check and tidy, and make a few mods to get the best cable routing. Certoplast tape is usually the best wrapping. It’s tough yet formable, and looks right on older bikes. With the tank and seat back on, the electrics are almost invisible.

The bike’s now up for sale, with an asking price of £2100. If you’re interested, I can give you Michael’s details.
