Coast to Coast
Hey Guys,
Picked up a pretty nice 71' (incorrectly titled a '72) CB175 today. In okay running condition. Carbs need a bit of work (go figure) The left carb float was half full of gas, so anytime you revved it would flood badly and drip gas everywhere. Most of the electrical works. The chrome was is great shape, the front rim is nearly flawless. As I dug into it for awhile tonight I noticed a couple oddities from the previous owners' attempts at customizing etc. If you see anything odd in my pics feel free to throw in your 2 cents as I am not as familiar with the CB175's.
Some things I noticed:
Retarded stickers everywhere and hipster feather
Nice little mini turn signals
Dirt bike foot pegs
Rear fender and taillight are kind of a mess, and both fenders obviously chopped
Aftermarket rear shocks/springs (Hagon, I believe. Good/bad???)
3" rear tire. Seems really small, pretty sure its supposed to be a 3.5"
Im sure Ill find some more. Here are some pictures, she was really dirty, but cleaned up surprisingly well.
