This is my latest purchase, and first project vehicle! A lovely little 1970 Honda CB100 in “ Candy Blue Green”. Needs some love for sure. Heres the rundown of the current known fixes needed.
1. Tires dry-rotted
2. Wheel spokes replaced, possible wheels replaced, they’re pretty rusty.
3. G as tank needs cleaned out, hard to tell how long the gasoline has been in the tank but its separated into; clear, red, and solid layers.
4. T he fuel valve was open so the carburetor is probably completely gummed up.
5. front brakes cable is disconnected . Not a big deal.
6. The key is missing.
7. Registering will be interesting, but I have a plan that should work.
8. The seat is functional but the bottom edge of the seat structure is just about rusted/rotted away. I really want to keep the original seat though. Might have to get creative.
Pretty cool little bike, lots of cool features I’m still discovering. Really excited that it has a built in center stand. Cool little speed to gear guide on the speedo. The engine does turn over very easy and smooth when kicked once , thats a good sign. Clutch works and the bike will go into gear. Shouldn’t be terrible hard to get it running. I can't stop smiling Im so happy. First motorcycle also.

Oh, cool! Any ideas as to how long it’s been since it was last run?
I’m suddenly having flashbacks to my father’s CL100 that I took on as a project a couple years ago.

Years. The person I bought it from had owned it 5 years and had bought it non-running. The fuel is completely separated, also the battery is looks to be the original battery as it has the Honda Motors label on it along side the battery manufacturers name.

I had a 72 CB450 that I loved but it cost too much to fix compared to buying one already restored... :(

M aybe some day you’ll get the chance. I feel like rebuilding is just going to add to the fun. So many more memories of the bike. I imagine its more infused with your personality.

That’s super cool!
Vermont will let people out of state register anything under 300cc's, so you can always go that route. My buddy here in Illinois has Vermont plate son his scooter.
