1979 Honda XL125s: red Honda fuel tank and engine in the shop

The story Sample copy

A little late-70s Honda dual-sport, back on the lift for a proper going-over. The Rebuild set is the long middle of the story: the engine and frame on the lift, the red tank and side covers, and a lot of patient time chasing the wiring harness one connector at a time.

The Restored set shows it back together, red Honda tank and all, ready to earn some dirt again.
