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...
jb, i'll tak ethe brake if ad does not. s ... Scott Vile The Ascensius Press PO Box 779 46 Bristol Road South Freeport, ME 04078-0779 207-865-0360 Fax...
Bill, First my thanks for the compliment. Next, allow me say that I am constructing a Cafe' Bike based on the 175 Honda twin engine, and like the chopper, it...
Steve, Sounds like a good plan...I would suggest going with an 18" front wheel though. That 19" will slow down the handling and add extra weight to the front....
I think I have a CB160/175 tank around here somewhere...it's in primer...has places for pads...but not pads. I found repro pads for about $30 when I did up my...
... same rims as used on the 650's... The problem with the 18's are they are 2.15 width (Too wide aesthetically for the skinny (33mm)Ceriani forks, and I have...
Steve, Someone should go for that rim swap...(hehe..rim swap..that sounds dirty)...err...anyway...those Yamaha rims are nice looking pieces, a WM3 for a WM2 is...
Hey, sorry I haven't checked this site in awile.. Of course I want the brake!! And yes I'll probably need a bigger one SOON!! I am really just doing this bike...
JohnnyB, I have four or five Honda 450 drum brake hubs and most of the shoe and backing plate assemblies for them, and at least one from a 305 (CB77) The rims...
Steve, I'll give you $20 each for one of the 450 brakes and the 305 brake...assuming the drum liners are useable....they are always pretty rusty...but if they...
JohnnyB.... I'll send them out ASAP, we can settle up once you inspect them yourself..... I assume sending to the return address on the tach cover package is...
Steve, Yep, just send them to that address. What's the best way to pay you? I can do check, M.O., Paypal, whatever is best for you. Remember what the shipping...
JohnnyB, From quick measurements, other than the number of spoke holes (36 vs 40) and minor side-to-side (for fork width) spacing differences , The 305 drum is...
Steve, I'd only really be interested in complete front hub/brakes. I've got two 305 brakes now and one 450, almost ready to race. I'm trying to come up a...
