Hehe...yep, tell me something can't be done is the best way to get me to try. I probably would have thought a sloper couldn't be put in a vert frame either. ...
I find I am in "want" of a 160 style round toolbox with cap...Cap chrome does not have to be good, it's all getting painted..... Since they probably are of...
... Now I only need a sprocket cover (11661-216-000) and the under crankcase cover (11311-235-000) and the engine will be complete....I can probably make the...
Hi all I'm having a difficult time locating a pair of carb kits for 74 cl-200. Is there a chance kits for 160 or 175 twins will work as a alternative I haven't...
Try emailing these guys> http://www.siriusconinc.com/default.asp Sometimes they have stuff that's not on their website. Yes it's possible that a late model...
Hi to all. My name is Randy, from Lincoln, NE. It seems that a couple of weeks ago I got a wild hair for a Winter project, and have ended up the proud owner of...
Randy, Sure, ask anything you need to. Consider this if the possibility presents itself. Put a vertical 175 engine in there....believe it or not, in stock form...
Thanks, John. I sort of figured that you guys would be friendly. I may be into Plan B already. When I got some of the mud and grime off of this thing, it...
Take your time with it, make it kind of a Zen exercise and you could end up with a dead reliable commuter. I've seen nice examples of the CB200 go for some...
Hello Everyone, I just got my hands on what I thought was a pristine 71 CB175. During the ride home, the bike stalled out on me. From what I can gather, it's...
Kash, I've never heard of a CB175 overheating. Since it's air cooled you'd have to get it very very hot, hot enough to start seizing engine components. Being...
Kash Take a quick look at those sparkplugs Are they real light colored if so. I'll lay Odds your emulsion tube in carb is blocked. don't keep operating till...
So, I started taking this thing apart over the weekend, and didn't find a lot of problems that couldn't be solved with automotive chemicals and the creative...
It's a pretty good assumptions that a lot of 175 parts will fit, specially stuff like kick levers. The shafts aren't that hard to find...but yeah, you probably...
... easier to create a "keyway" by tightening the lever as much as possible in the position you want/need it, and drill a 1/8" hole horizontally, 1/2 in the...
I thought some of you here might be interested. Michael Bateman of Group W 160 Racing is trying to put together a group buy for stainless valves. Here is the...
I'm stalled at 18 orders right now, hopefully there'll be a few more guys wanting to build/keep spare parts for 175's. I've had some requests for 160 valves,...
For those people wanting to go to SS valves...which I consider a necessity, especially on the exhaust side, for a race engine, this sounds like a decent deal. ...
So I posted to the group about my 71 CB175 dying on the road after running for a while. Well, I figured out the problem. I have a fuel issue. One of the...
Just took the front caliper apart, and find that I have no faith in this thing acually stopping the bike. I like stopping. What are the best brake/wheel/fork...
drain the tank, remove the petcock bowl, remove the screen (there's an o-ring), there are 2 screws going up in to the tank, remove the screws..buy a kit, new...
Yep the mechanical front disk on the CB200 wasn't known for great stopping power. In 1977 the Honda MT125R road racer used a CB200 mechanical caliper, in 78 it...
I plan on spending a quiet and reflective evening cleaning CB200 carbs. These particular examples are really filthy. I know from experience that not all carb...
If you remove all the rubber parts they should be good to go with the more caustic cleaners. Then spend a couple of quiet evenings with a tooth brush and other...
I've used a number of different carb cleaners and have settled on the Yamaha brand stuff. It's cut 2:1 with water and is safe for the rubber/plastic bits -...
Hello Randy I have quit using the old style stinking carb cleaner that would eat rubber parts all up and have gone to the modern cleaners that can be used in...
