My dad just picked up a 74 CZ Jawa 125 off craigslist. He said it has a positive ground. Needs a battery, anyone have suggestions to where I could find what model battery it takes?

i saw this thing on craigslist looked like a neat project. its my understanding you use a normal battary. you just hook up the terminals the opposite way

ha, nice. my dad got a battery online.

I’m not really feeling my cb450. too big to have brakes and susp that shitty.

so my dad said he really only bought the jawa to look at. so I can be the one to ride it. new bike, holler.
