My dad and I love our Honda trails.

Bought it a little over a week ago and I can’t stop riding it. Looking forward to many more miles.

Im trying to figure out what is actually bent in this photo, or if im just going insane. I noticed today that my handlebar does not align with the bolts that hold the forks in. i cant tell how long it has been like this or if this is recent. I put the Zeta windscreen in but i dont remember it being this twisted when i put it in, and its not like you remove the lower part of the clamp when you install it.

From what im Googling there could be 3 possible things,

1: the handlebar itself
2: the risers that connect to the bar
3: the fork is twisted (im not sure how this could be the case)

Open to suggestions, i can work on stuff myself but im a bit new to bikes and bike terminology. as most of my experience is on cars.

Just letting you know that there is a thriving community in Kazakhstan Almaty (Central Asia), last photo is mine, others are from our club chat

If you saw my last post (no idea how this works) you’ll see a beaten up 110 I was erroneously and not seriously contemplating buying and working on. Since then this gem popped up for less than $1k but it’s very far away. Decisions decisions but would be a hard one to pass up…

Looking for some CT110 advice. I’m considering this one as my first motorcycle project to learn basic mechanics.
Seller says it ran recently, but it’s currently partially disassembled. I’m planning to get a cold-start video and short riding video before making a decision.
Does this look like a good bike to learn on? Anything specific I should check for with an old CT110? Also curious about the black paint — is it likely hiding the original finish?

If you’re thinking about taking your Trail out for a spin, stop thinking and excuse yourself for a moment.

How can I use a new coil with the old condenser? It’s tested and works fine. The old connector on the condenser fits the male ends just fine but wondering what goes where. Also, the two wires out of the main harness that are disconnected are confusing me.

Also, I believe a new rectifier (?) was added at some point and is just kinda floating there all taped up, but the wires from the old one are still connected to the main harness, so I’m a little confused.
Just need help putting together this puzzle that the previous owner left me with. Thanks!

My favorite time of day to ride, heading into my favorite time of year. Splitting a flock of birds that were foraging made me feel like a shark as they scattered. Watch out for deer!

I couple of pole holders, folding chair and small tackle box.

New to me 2021 ct125.

Handlebars are majorly crooked. I only fixed the bare minimum but ill dig into the stem misalignment now that i know the fork tubes are straight. Good enough for the trails though.
