Re: Parts Wanted!/ headlight mounts


> JohnnyB, Yes, and thank-you. They appear to actually be from a 160
as the cut-out for the pinchbolts in the lower trees seems to be behind
the tubes, not in front as the 175's have. I am trying to modify them
slightly so the "ears" will point forward instead of sideways, but I
believe they can be made to work.... The thank-you letter and payment
was mailed this (saturday) morning....Sorry for the delay, payday is
Fridays...LOL....I'll post pics when the bike comes together, I'm going
for a earlier vintage look, mostly because I have some odds and ends
from several 160 and 175's, and am building on a non-existant budget
(use what you got, buy only as necessary).....So far, I have a 1971 CB
frame, 68 CL forks with your top covers to hold a 160 headlight/speedo
unit, a CB 360T front wheel (drum brake), a CM 200 (16") rear wheel and
assorted other bits and pieces from whatever.....It actually looks like
it will make a neat little bike (eventually)..... Thanks again, Steve

Steve, If it is more than $10 don't worry about it...I don't think it will be. I'll box it up and send the stuff out. Feel free to ebay anything you don't need...
