A couple words of wisdom if you will.

Take lots of pics of how things are assembled/disassembled, and take notes.

Get copious amounts of plastic bags and a sharpie and label every bag as to what bolts, screws, nuts, grommets etc and put in ONE BOX labeled for this project.

Get a plan on paper or word doc or excel. Create a list of stuff you need to buy, stuff you can do for free (your labor), and a wish list or parts.

Also on that list determine what you want to do with parts such as blasting, plating, painting, chroming, or buffing.

If someone can find a 1983 Honda 110 PDF shop manual that would be great! I also Have stacks of paper shop manuals all makes and models! I will be scanning them soon.

Are you trying to do an actual restoration or just trying to make this a nice rider? The reason why I ask is, I'm not sure if you know what all is involved in an actual restoration. Using all honda hardware. Re-cad plating nuts and bolts and washers and all the parts that were originally cad plated. Nos honda fenders. Nos honda tires. The proper color of paint, not just from a can (well some places will mix paint colors in custom filled cans), but actual paint applied by spray guns? I hope you know that the people who do serious restorations search all over the world for replacement parts. Restoration is a serious word not to be taken lightly. Restoration even goes as far as to take a stock carb back to it's factory original finish, not just a little carb dip, can of cleaner and add a carb rebuild kit. Do you have a factory assembly manual for this trike? The assembly manual tells the mechanics at the dealership how to properly assemble the trikes when they come out of the crates. It shows detail like how the electical wiring harness runs down along the frame of the trike and the routing of all the cables and wires necessary to run the trike. It's a big deal not to be taken lightly when you use the word restoration. A true restoration will take a couple thousand dollars. The level of detail on a restored trike is mind blowing. I've seen a couple restorations on here where the trike ended up nicer than when they were new. Anything other than this level of time and effort, should be called a refresh, not a restoration. All the work that went into my Tiger 250, if was a really intese refreshment of a trike that needed alot of work. Not a restoration by far. Great examples of restoration work can be found by looking for machines done by Vintage Restorations or by OC250rs' machines, which some of his parts have been restored by Vintage Restorations. There have been a couple other machines done to the level of an actual restoration, one being a 73 atc70 done by a board member that I can't remember his name though, sorry. I remember a few US90s done by another person, that were simply breathtaking. Those are true restorations and I know I would never personally even use the word restoration for any machine that I have because it's really a slap in the face to someone that either does true restorations or has had their machine professionall restored. Either way, all the best with your project. And I ask you to please show courtesy to those who do actual restorations or have had restoration work done. Sorry, but this is really a big pet peeve of mine.

Is this a 110 or a 125M?

[Jon Boy]

110, it just has 125 rear plastics.

[hoosierlogger]

Roger that on the 125 plastics.

and by the condition of those s, that trike must have at least a million miles on it, just goes to show how long a honda will run
