I have a '71 CB175 that I restored as a 'winter' project. It runs and rides great! But I do not have a new battery for it, and it will need one. The entire bike was torn down and rebuilt. Many new parts, rebuilt top end, custom built and upholstered seat that uses the original mounting and...

SOLD Hi guys, I got a pair of these from DCC but I really need the 14.50". I'm selling these to swap out for the taller ones. They have only been installed on my bike as a roller, never ridden on. I figure $80 + shipping is reasonable as they are practically new. I have removed the top...

Since the CB175 is almost complete, I thought I would unveil the next project. 8 months ago I sat down at Ducati Bike Night in San Jose, CA with a guy that happened to be parting ways with some of his old Ducati project bikes that he never got around to. I told him to hang on to one for me and...

Hey guys, I have my next bike lined up. I won't spoil the surprise, but I have to ship it from Cali (San Jose), to IL (St. Louis). I would like to pay under or close to $500 for this but the cheapest freight I have found is $677 with Forward Air. Any advice or suggestions? I'm going out to...

Someone buy this! It deserves a good home. Its not mine, I just spotted it. http://terrehaute.craigslist.org/mcy/3968378210.html

So who's got the dough for this?! http://charlotte.craigslist.org/mcy/3894919185.html

Hey guys, I figured someone would be able to point me to a good solution or a build with a clean wiring solution. I want to cleanup the rats nest end of the wiring harness on my CB175 and aside from rebuilding the harness, are there any good and relatively cheap junction/fuse boxes out there...

Well I really feel stupid having to post this, but I've tried about everything I can think of. I got my new grips and throttle tube today. The throttle tube is generic and needs cut to length. So what do I do...I put it in the grip. Now I can't get the sucker out. I can't get anything to...

Hey guys, I searched around and couldn't find anything on this. I got my tires and am wondering if I can just mounted them with my irons, since they are tubed on spoked rims. My only concern is scratch my nice powder coated wheels. What do you guys do?

I am working to get my wheels trued, but I am not having any luck. As far as I know, and when I measured before dismantling, the hubs don't have and offset. But I still have some spokes that are too loose even when almost out of thread... Any advice?

I have been rebuilding the controls on my CB175 and managed to lose a 4mm ball bearing and 3mm fine threaded machine screw. I go to the local hardware and auto parts stores and the guys just laugh at me. Any help for replacements?

Is there any harm to putting the engine back together with the same piston rings? I haven't taken them off the pistons, and haven't messed with the motor other than to clean all the sludge out and rebuild the head. I really don't want to spend the extortion prices for OEM rings. Yes, they are...

I started this build as a tracker and changed directions, so I started a new thread in Cafe Racers. So if you want an introduction go http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=29522.0, otherwise welcome. I will do a quick intro so those that don't want to read a separate thread get the...

I need some new valves for my CB175. Let me know if anyone has some that are in good condition.

So I bought a tank off of ebay and it turns out I can't/don't want to make it fit on my bike. So its back on the market. The tank is in great shape, no dents, minimal surface rust, and the inside just needs washed out, though some Zep and a coating couldn't hurt. $50 plus shipping to you...

Hey everyone, I am fairly new to this forum and style of motorcycles. I just got a '71 Honda CB175 for $300 so that my wife can learn to ride. I don't think she would fair well starting on the 999. :o I am leaving the bike as is while the wife is learning. However this winter I...

Hey everyone. I just purchased a 71 CB175 for cheap so that I could have something small to teach my wife to ride. I figured while I'm at it I can fix it up for her and cafe it out to some extent. She loves anything vintage so its win win. But I digress... Anyway, I want to find out where...
