I have a 71 CL frame in pretty good shape, very straight with a title. Let me know if you are interested. I ended up using the engine in another bike, so I don't have any use for the frame now.

I ordered new after-market piston rings for my CL175, but I can't tell what order to put them in. I assume the "N" stamed on them gos towards the top of the piston, but does the black ring go at the top or does the silver ring?

Thanks, that sounds good. I have some stock rings on the way. After I do a light honing on the walls, I will put the new rings in.

Here's a pic of the other cylinder.

Here's a pic of the inside cylinder wall. I can't feel any scoring, just see some discoloration.

I will post some pics tonight. The more I looked at it, the less I thought it needed boring. I took it to a local shop and the mechanic said it need boring over after a very quick visual inspection. I am not convinced though. After I post the pics tonight, y'all can let know what you think.

I am rebuilding the engine on a 71 CL175 and have the pistons out of the cylinders out. There is some scoring on the inside one of the cylinders(due to a bad gasket and dirt getting into the engine). It seems like some honing would remove the scoring, but then should I use .25mm over rings, or...

I am in Euless with 5 Honda 175s; 2 CBs, 2 CLs, 1 SL. Almost all are in parts, working on one of the CBs at the moment.

Does anyone know what size bolt I need to pull the alternator on a CL175? I wanted to just buy a bolt, rather than order the tool.

I got my 31mm clips from here: http://www.akunar.com/HANDLEBARS.html They have small nicks in the finish, but the price is right.
