I just bought a 1963 c105 with a chrome frame. Do you know anything about it? It's in rough shape and I am having trouble finding any details.
ReplyDeleteThese are pretty rare. Approximately 1,500 produced in 1962 and 2,500 produced each year for 1963 and 1964. One of two stories I have heard... dealers could special order or they were only given to dealers that met sales quota. These were trail models and didn't come with the leg shield or plastic front fenders. The trail models also came with the short seat and a rack on the back. Good info at www.CT90-CT110.com. Click on the 62-Trail link. There are several Yahoo groups for Honda Cubs and Honda Pushrod 50s. These groups are usually pretty helpful.
DeleteThe front winker appears to be held with a single screw, is this true? I have never seen such a lens, if so what does the handle bar look like under the lens?
ReplyDeleteThere appears to be a square object on the frame behind the left fork, is it a label/decal/tag, what?
Thanks,

I have added new photos for clarification. The winker lens is held in place with two screws.
DeleteThe square object is some sort of tag or label. It is metal and mostly in Japanese. It does have the designation C105 on it.
The winker lenses are fitted upside down.
DeleteHave a C105-D000414 and not sure what model to restore to a older cub or older trail. Can not find a proper serial number in stock. Dose anyone know what year, or what was the original model. Thank you Randall randalllougee2000@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteC105D should be some time in 1962.
DeleteC105A started August 1961, and by the start of 1963 they were on C105G.
Sorry can't narrow it down any further.

ReplyDeleteThe electric start version was called a CD105. Frame numbers were still "C105---" though.
