Hey Everyone, hope this finds you all doing well. Anybody else out there that was enjoying the 74 degree weather we had this weekend? I took full advantage of...
Really is a sweet looking 175. Just noticed the one picture next to the water.....someone is also a good photographer. There is a little adjustment procedure...
-Hi John, I see you found my other hobbie ( photography) :) Turned out pretty good with its first cleaning. thanks for the clutch info, It will help alot. K....
For those interested I put a bunch of detailed images of the PVL system I have installed on the race bike here: http://www.jrbranson.com/showandtell-3.htm ...
Added some more parts on the CDR parts page: http://www.jrbranson.com/BikeParts/CDR-Parts.htm Most of you are already familiar with these parts...just finally...
Just curious is the front wheel/brake a bolt on swap? Does this give any better braking. Also how about the forks/triple tree, is this a straight swap? Thanks,...
AD, Actually the CB160 brake is better than a stock CB350, both are 180mm brakes...the stock 175 brake is 170mm I think. I know a well setup 160 will stop...
Cool, I guess the problem is CB350 brakes are common as muck, and the only 160 brake I've found looks like it's been in a lake for 10yrs.. ;) I'll keep...
Johnny B.'s real job is working in a bar . . . hehe. ... Scott Vile The Ascensius Press PO Box 779 46 Bristol Road South Freeport, ME 04078-0779 207-865-0360 ...
The CB160 brakes are pretty common on Ebay. I have at least one here, maybe more. Probably worth your time to find one when compared to a 350 brake. The 160...
So quit hoarding them and help a brother out.... Cheers, A.D. ... here, ... a ... the ... you ... very ... upgrade ... and ... thought if ... to ... owe...
Of course I have a really killer CB450 drum sitting around too. Needs to be turned to see if the liner is good, has some good size pits in the liner...might...
I found a spare CB160 brake, pretty nice condition. $50 as is. $100 with all the vent/lightening machining done...holes in hub, backing plate, spoke flange. ...
A.D., I've got shoes too. I'll see if I can fit this drum in my lathe...if it needs turning...and I'll arc the shoes if I can turn the drum. Figure another $50...
John, Thank-you for the tach cover.... Greetings to all the other members! I hope I can be an involved contributor here. While I have been involved mostly...
I've added a pic of my business card to the photo section. It has a view of the 175 engined mini I built for an eleven-year old girl ( a friend's niece). The...
Steve, Very cool 175 chopper, would love to see more pics of that...have played with the idea of building one with a spare engine many times. Let's see more of...
The mini is actually more of a "bobber" than a chopper, but its real appeal seems to be the small size (check out the new pics, the 5'7" guy immediately behind...
Steve, Very nice looking work. Looks like a minature old school Triumph chopper/bobber. Anytime you want an outline of what steps to take to make them go a bit...
Steve, Tach cover is going out on Monday morning. Look for a brown box 10 times larger than necessary....hehe I have to get rid of all these packing materials...
JohnnyB, There's the rub! My budget is excessively small. I built the mini for $500 total including the two bikes I obtained for the purpose (a CB175 Honda of...
Ok...here we go again. If all is right with the engine it should make enough power, they are pretty ballsy engines bone stock. They are sensitive to their...
Awesome site!...I can see that we share many similar concepts as to what a "real" racer entails..... As for carburation, I tried using two Honda CB125 (the...
Steve, I would have thought the CB125 carbs would have worked well. Course maybe carbs for those long stroke singles are set up quite a bit different than the...
A.D., If you are still interested in a brake, the CB160 brake is all done up. Pics here: http://www.jrbranson.com/showandtell-2.htm Not quite that shiny in...
Steve I just got a chance to check out the photos of your 175 project. Normally I'm not a big fan of Japanese bikes built up as choppers/bobbers but y ours is...
