Re: LS650 Savage - Tracker/scrambler re-design. (any updates)` Hey there.. Any updates on this project? I am so keen to see where you've got to! Cheers (: Evan

It's a shame the swivel-out CRF 50 style lever doesn't look like such a good fit on the vertical CB175's (in terms of clearance) as it would be pretty ideal otherwise, or so it seems. DAMN! Are there any others that might work in the same way, but with a less bulky fit up near the engine casing?

Yeah, i would love to see how this ended up too. I'm still trying to work out what to use for my CB175, in order to clear the aftermarket pipes. Thanks!

ah, nice. Love those earlier squarish tanks on the late 60's models. My other project is a CB175 k3 (1969) with that shape tank, and the little rubber knee pads on the side..

So many great suggestions here on this thread (perfect for newbies like me).. Thanks for sharing the knowledge, chaps. I have a question, touched on in the above post.. I have been getting into my first bike restoration project, and getting assistance from a friend along the way. We have...

Hi arudeseal! I just picked up a CB350 (1972) and found a broken cam chain tensioner pin (and surround components) in the engine oil when i drained it. (explains the clickety-clack sound coming from up in the head when i turned the kickstarter over).. Did you end up sticking with the standard...
