My CBX125C: Replaced 16inch rear wheel with 18ich wheel.

I have replaced 16inch rear wheel with 18ich wheel.
She looks good,loos like standart motorcyle.
Seat got slightly higher position. Which is good point.
Foot rest location is still not good. It needs improvement.

CBX125カスタムの16インチホイールを18インチに換える。
すると250ccバイクの様な伸びやかなスタイルになる。
シート高さも若干上がったので好都合。
CBX125カスタムのステップ位置を後方へ出来たら
CBX125Fのフレームへ載せ換える必要もないであろう。

Honda CBX125F and CBX125C

Honda R.F.V.C. means Radial Four Valve Combustion Chamber
Honda designed RFVC engine for dirtbikes firstly due to needs for more power,torque and less fuel consuming.

RFVC engine mechanism was adopted to CBX125F and CBX125C in Japan
a few years later.
Their engine was smallest 125cc engine with RFVC mechanism.

If you ride CBX125F at vintage motorcycle race,you will be satisfied with result for its high performance.
If you came across CBX125 at your local shop,buy her now.

CBX125C is retro chopper style,which engine adjusted mild for downtown use.
I have recently got junk CBX125C for my daily use. 
125cc displacement is Mopet category so that registration is easy and less insurance cost.
My junk CBX125C needed overhaul fuel preparation.
Tank inside was worst condition with rust.  Fuel cock was worse neither.
Twin carburetors were needed to be brake down several times to clean and adjust.
I enjoy riding her engine with high revolution.  I might get a CBX125F additionally when ride CBX125C for a while.

But it is too heavy with post service.
I am going to separate into upper head and lower case.
It is drainning engine oil.

It makes workers body cooler. 



Does anyone develop much more powerfull air conditioning suit for motorcycle ride in summer? 



I know there is no-sleeve shirt which filled with water,vaporizing water and rider cooler.

LED tail light did not light

Prior to go touring,I changed to LED tail light.
But It did not light when stopped.
I think cause bad connection of wireharness.
I will check terminals of elec.coupling.
