and heres the after
Thanks for compliment. I actually had Jay from Lossa do most of the work. He does great work and attention to detail is like none other. It took about a year to build and I wasn't in a rush. It gave me time to get the funds for it as well. Pay him a visit if you have time. He is currently working on my wife's Honda Cl125A. Should be done this summer.

That's a truly awesome transformation from where it started. You did a fantastic job bringing it back to life.

The story goes that I swapped an old Datsun ute to my dad for a boxful of CD175 and some cash. I 'lent' the boxful of bike to my brother, on the proviso that he assemble it and give it to me free and clear when he was done.
The bike was thrown together in a couple weeks and used by my bro for about a year in fairly rough stock form, including perished to buggery tyres. Except for the extreme custom spray bomb paint job.
He was riding over to mine and the engine stopped. The wife was despatched with trailer and the bike was delivered, as he was now done with it.
I had a play around and got it going, but htought that some cleaning up was required. The motor has CB cam, 37mm carb (from 22mm) CB 5 speed gear set (from 4 speed) and 2 into 1 pipes. some nice Fiat Patero Verde (field green) paint and white pin stripes, drag bars and a good going over and it's a reliable, classic commuter
A cafe bike is on the build, a CB175 just to keep it in the family, currently a rolling frame and tank, but not too far away, pics soon.
+ 1 on this bike i like it alot i have always been down for khaki green or earth tone colors period i'm still deciding on what color for my bike. the tank is the candy orange and i love it because i know it will pop but we will see what happens
