This is my little baby. My wife got me a frame for my birthday, and it was just a frame, not even so much as a bearing cup. So I set about making this.
I wanted a CG125 but I could not find one for decent money. so I got a jailing engine, and I must say, she's as sweet as a nut.
1953 D3 frame
2010 Jailing engine
1984 cg125 wheels
headlight was from Russia, apparently its from an early soviet union moped
Home made wiring harness
She's named after a Heinz 57 dog we had in my youth

She runs lovely, very loud, and gets plenty of smiles. Yes the footbar runs under the engine, its a CG one as the Chinese ones are micky mouse metal. Its just the 125, and I think for the suspension, I wouldn't want anything with more power. Plods around at 50mph quite nicleyÂ
I'll try and upload some videos uploaded (but I am not the best when it comes to computers)Â

CG125 hub? Looks same as one fitted to Honda front-end on a Bantam Cub I have. I gave it a double-take, reckon the excellent paint disguises its simple origin.....or maybe hub finning has been pared down a bit...or the colour has created that sort of illusion over the original silver?

That noise brings back memories.We used to ride a wrecked old cg125 around the fields when we were kids.Tank wobbled around all over the place,seat held on with rope,bent kickstart that used to rip your legs to shreds when it was muddy and an exhaust sawn off at the end of the down pipe(you could hear it for miles 🤣🤣🤣),mountain bike handlebars and no front brake 😱 good times !
What's 7/16 in mm again?

Thanks for the vid, looks & sounds the business.Loved the simplicity of my CG125 motor, great little workhorse, nearly kept it.
Are you sourcing a Bantam engine for the rolling chassis in the shot? 😉 Â
The Yamaha YG1, Ive just sold that to fund a bantam trails. Hopefully picking the frame up at the weekend. Â
