my "sloper" 175 forks and the "vertical" 175 forks that I can see as
regards the stem and bracket area... And the "sloper" 175 frame is
likewise a nearly identical copy of the 160 frame.....So, it should
work nicely..... The CB/CL 200 forks might work as well, but there are
some differences in the fork "stops" that would need to be
considered.... Steve

No, all CB200's had the mechanical disc as far as I know, so you have to adapt the drum, which is very simple to do. You can use the extra lug on the left leg...
