Hello all, My 71 is stuck on the side of the road and my clutch cable is shot. It's broken. For all intents and purposes, it's dead. Anyone know where I can...
I have one I could send ya. No clue on condition as it came off my new parts bike. Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to put in.  Take the engine chain...
Hey everyone, First off, thanks for the help with the previous clutch cable issue. I ended up jerry-rigging the front break cable to act as a clutch cable and...
Because only one mfloat/float valve is sticking. Pop the bowl off, jiggle the float and try it again. Worse case scenario, you have to replace the float...
also I've seen the bowl gasket hold the float..another worst case scenario is the overflow tube has a hole in it along it's length someplace, these things are...
Kash I agree that it is a float related problem. You can pop the bowl off with out removing the carb . The float level could be off - high - allowing too much...
These are on Ebay right now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ViewItem&item=330273997323&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:MOTORS:1123#ht_500wt_0 My CB175...
Those are hap jones pistons. They don't work well for the 175, the compression ratio is lower than stock. They sort of work for the 160, if you reshape the...
I'm looking at a similar situation, but with a new 160 build...would like to get a little more grunt for the Vermont hills (giro). I've read Michael Moore's...
Beth Those are what's in Dales bike- been there since I assembled it. I agree with everyone regarding lower potential output, but since you already have a...
Hi Bill; I didn't buy those Ebay pistons. Yes; this is a B bike and no; I don't want to spend a bunch on it. Hotrod A bike IS the main focus. Branson unit...
I'm reinstalling the carbs, but forgot to look at the cable routing before I rebuilt them. Does the cable go over or under the front tank rubber mount? And...
The best mod here is a CB200 front end with a Branson CL450 brake. Just set the local track record with exactly this set-up. Totally stomps the CB/CL/SL...
Tim; if one would want to rebuild a CB200 front end (replace worn springs, new fork seals); where are the springs available? Are you using the Kibblewhite...
Beth, Â I just put seals and oil in my CB200 forks. Old springs, bushings, etc. I am sure if you wanted cool springs, Works Performance would make them for...
Nice to know all the R&D over the years didn't totally go to waste. Some day BFD will be the go-to guy for my stuff. He's got all the info on the pistons and...
I'm not sure I'm worthy of assuming a Buff Harsh type of role when I can't get my bike to deliver it's 1 Branson potetial reliably but I'll be happy to keep...
BFD, At some point I'll burn a CD of my local (on my computer) HTML based R&D notes, and send it to you. (Sorry folks proprietary info). And....hold on to...
JohnnyB I've got everything tucked away safely, just let me know when you want it. No rush on the notes, in good time. I still need to finish the season off...
starting on a '65 cb160...it's goin to be basiclly stock, but I would like to breath on the motor a bit... couple parts I'll be looking for, maybe someone has...
Dale, Give a day or so and maybe Michael or some of the west coast 160 guys will chime in, they know the 160's real well and how to get good price/performance...
Michael is busy with his wife's birthday today. He is who you should talk to, though. He probably has most of the stuff you want, and can tell you EXACTLY what...
All the Kibblewhite has a setup for the 160 with valves springs and keepers. The keepers and the springs ate the same, and the intake from the 175 is the same...
Hi Dale - The 160 valves are different sizes than the 175, but are available in both stock and 1mm oversize. I can get either from Kibblewhite. When changing...
There are two NOS tanks right now on ebay for a 70. No reserve and last I saw both were around $50 ... From: Ryan Crawford <towertech24@...> Subject:...
