Has anyone tried anything to lighten the clutch pack? Since we are dealing with such small motors it seems any loss of rotating weight would be a good thing? ...
Terry, I've thought about it, right now I use CR125 friction plates. You can only use four or five of them...depending on the model of 175 because the first...
JohnnyB, Keeping in mind my bike is a CL100, so I'm aware some things you are doing with your CB175 and your wife's little bike may not directly apply. What...
Terry, I use the 428 on the small racer, seems to be more than enough chain. I'd guess it would work fine on a 100. It was used OEM on the "Trail 90" I know,...
Terry, I just got a reply from Barnett, they said they would make Cryo Aluminum plates that they don't normally carry. But the minimum order would be 100....
the last thing I need for a 160 motor is the small o-ring that goes on the cam chain tensioner lock bolt. I got a few from the local hardware store, all too...
I think they are included in most gasket sets....I gotta have some lying in the bottom of my gasket drawer. JohnnyB ... on the cam chain tensioner lock bolt. I...
I'll look again, doesn't seem to be in the set I got, mcmaster has somethiong close, $2.50 for 25..I'll stop at the honda shop after work tks dch John Branson...
Just wanted to welcome any new members. No the group hasn't been that active lately...but we are still here and still listening. Thanks, John Branson (...
Johnny B and all the guys and gals on the 175 group Merry Christmas! Have you asked Santa for more horse power? Higher RPM's and supper breaks! Yea me too....
Merry Christmas Robin, You gotta have some high tech project going on....post pics of something....anything :) Take Care, JohnnyB ... Christmas! Have you...
John, I am having some more TI con rods CnC'ed. I will post pics of them when they are done. They should be the lighter than the stock ones, and capable of...
Does anyone know of a mirror riser that will work on a 1973 cb175. My mirrors are too low for me. All I can see is my shoulders. I see the risers for 10mm...
That's some way whack frashizzle. As always post some pics. Should be an awesome project. What class would you run that thing in? :) Four stroke twins class of...
Here's a question for you-all; a JohnnyB type mod: When one uses CB200T cylinders on the 175 bottom end; where do you get those pistons and specifically, what...
Beth, The CB200 cylinders are like 4-5mm longer than CB175 cylinders so some pretty extensive work would need to be done. There are a couple of options, both...
I have George's yetman framed "175"; one of them (he has two). I was curious as to what it took to build the engine. So it has a CB200 crank in it, eh? Not...
Beth, I know the yetman he raced routinely in years past had a CB200 crank. Because he bought two sets of my pistons even though he knew they wouldn't fit that...
I wound ask why? Just run a 200 and hop that up. I know people will say that the frame is heavier and the bottom end of the engine is heavy. Ho yea and the...
Just so you know; the Yetman frame 175-200 doesn't need anything (as far as I know) I was just wondering what custom motors like that took. This one has had...
Robin, What are you cutting the keyway with, some kind of broach? I thought about trying to make a tapered broach setup for them but never got around to it. So...
John, We use Bob cad at the shop. All the files are in G code, and bob cad creates the conversions. I see Eazytrack mills out here from 5000 from time to...
Robin, Did you have the taper ream custom made? Was it 5:1? I've looked for an off the shelf piece like that and couldn't find it. Found some places that would...
John, I had a company here in our area called Swift tool custom make it for me. I think it was 85$. If I don't cut the key way first I can make the entire...
Robin, I'd love to see some pics of that crank work. Never done it myself. Everything presses apart ok? Is fitup tight enough when you put it back together? Do...
Picked up a 71 CB175 as a project bike a few weeks ago. Daily bike is an 83 CB650SC. Wanted something to tinker with and possibly race somewhere down the...
John, I have a 10 tome press. It is plenty to get the job done. I use a little heat to put them back together again. Not much heat. Maybe 400 degrees no...
