Hi I have just bought a center stand for my Honda CM125. Got the stand in place but i can not see where the C" bracket goes which the main spring hooks onto Embarassed

. Also I have the "Clamper Hose as shown in the pictures on the CMS website its listed as item 2 on the diagram but i can not see what this is meant to be for??

Would be very grateful if i could see a photo of someones center stand set up
Many thanks
Andrew

Here you go, had to lay down on a stonecold driveway to get the photo for you mind Very Happy

As you can see in the photos mines rusted through so will also need replacing, propped it up with wood when I did the engine replacement on it Cool

Actually looking at the state of the underside of my bike I'm a little ashamed of the the state its in Embarassed

Edit - Is that clamp for the breather pipe I presume? Mine never had that and when I rebuilt the top end of the original 125 motor I rooted the pipe back down there like it was before. Bad bad bad move Brick Wall

Trapped the breather when it was on the centre stand and blew out the crankshaft oil seals Crying or Very sad

Full engine build was then required. As you can see in my photo I've rooted the pipe down the side of the swingarm now to avoid this, not sure if its good practice though Thumbs Up

Ahh yes silly me did not think of that I was trying to bolt the C clamp on somewhere and did not notice the hook it hangs on! Embarassed

I will check my breather hose thanks for the advice
Sorry you had to lay on the cold floor Sad

P.S are you running the twin carbs now?

Not as yet, while I found a set of carbs the inlet manifold is a whole other matter. I've got patience so I'll find one eventually Cool

Hopefully... To piece it together from cms would set me back £82 Shocked

A lot of money for two bits of rubber pipe, two clips and various screws. I've got a single carb working well for the time being, and after looking at the those photo's again I can't help but notice a hole in the swingarm Exclamation

Luckily I got a spare when I brought the bike, I presume this is why! Think that will be my next job.
