So what are you at now? And what are your plans? I am almost done with a restoration on an '83.

This sounds like it's going to be a fun project and a fun bike.

What all do you plan on doing to it?

Sniper X · 09-08-2010, 10:44 AM

Lace up some 17s and put Avon Distanzias on the rimzzzz. Plus, get a pipe. Those little KE100s benefit big time form a pipe and jetting. I knew a couple guys who had them, and the one guy who had one that we put a pipe and jetted would RUN away from the stocker like the stocker was running out of gas.

Sniper X · 09-08-2010, 10:45 AM

n the now shot, is that a Honda tank on it?

THEY SELL PIPES?!??!?!?!

Dude!

Where?

SprintSix · 09-09-2010, 04:42 AM

I have a 1973 G5. Same bike basicly. I spent a lot of time searching for a pipe made to fit. The only company that I found for sure was Torque engineering, Whisperin Smith. Some are made to bolt on to a G5 or KE100. However there are other vintage expansion chambers that will work. Exit on the left. I picked up a nos one from ebay. Modesett is the brand name, I cut the header of the stocker and welded it on the Modesett. Also had to cut a frame tab for the tool box. I had already removed the box.

I thought I would add that there is a large weight savings. Much better sound and power. It looks great ( maybe pics later tonight). Well worth the time to track it down.

FMF use to make a fatty for it but I don't think they do anymore but one might find one for sale on Ebay or some thread.

SprintSix · 09-09-2010, 08:29 AM

I almost forgot this. Hooker made a pipe for the ke100 G5.

cool thanks!

Sniper X · 09-10-2010, 08:19 AM

he other thing is Kwak made a race bike in 100cc called the Greenstreak, if you can find parts for one of those buy the pipe. I think it'll fit and those greenstreaks were friggin fast for a 100. Like fast 125 fast. I toasted everyone racing a Greenstreak flattrack (all stock) in the 125 class for a season on one.

SprintSix · 09-11-2010, 09:30 AM

The Greenstreak was a 250cc. You are thinking of a G31M Centurian. Search Steve McQueen and ringadingdoo. 18hp .

TXspeedDemon · 09-28-2010, 11:09 PM

sorry its been a while since i updated

yes its a honda cb 125 gas tank.

also heres some updates.
i cleaned up the wiring harness and added clip ons and new headlight brackets.

this is my little sister on it as it sits now.

i plan on making a carbon fiber tail for it.

also i do wanna find a new pipe but i cant seem to find one. anyone have a link?

future plans are as follows

chop the sub frame
carbon fiber tail
some good slick tires
and some performance mods.

i made a solo gauge out of the stock one by putting it into a drink bottle
