Hello all, I can't seem to find the fuel tank I'm after, a 72/73 CB175 tank. So I was looking at a 72/73 CB350 tank. What I would like to know is if it wil fit my lil' ol' 175. Main dimensions I need are overall length, height and the width at the rear where it meets the seat. Any help...

Hello all, Anyone got a tank off a 72' Honda CB175 they wanna get rid of? Some thing similar that will fit will be fine, but I need it with a flat bottom. Something like the attached picture. Was also thinking, will a 350 tank fit, or are they a lot bigger than the 175 tanks ? By the way...

Question for the CB175 guys. As far as i can tell, the 175 does not use a regulator. If so, is there any advantage to retro fitting one at all ? Also, I was thinking of getting my exhaust collets chromed. I can't find a good photo to check if you can see these when the exhaust is bolted up...

Hi all, Here is a link to an Australian thread dedicated to Cafe Racers. http://www.perthstreetbikes.com/forum/f14/cafe-racers-thread-44173/ Some good stuff in there, worth a look. I think you can only view 10 pages or so without registering, but it's free to register and worth it for the...

Hello all, question for the 175er's. Does anyone know what other tanks fit early 175's with little or no modifications? I want one with a flat bottom, if that makes sense. The one on mine kicks up at the front and spoils the lines I'm after. I think a CB200 tank will fit, any others? Cheers.

Hello all, I just read a post on ignition leads over at "loungin' at the club", which spoke of resistor caps? I assume that the standard points set up on a 1970 CB175 uses these "resistor caps" at the spark plugs. I have modified a pertronix ignitor to run electronic ignition and have a Dynatek...

Hello all, Anyone know where to get a Dynatek 3 Ohm twin fire coil in Australia? In Sydney would be better. I may have to source one from the states if I can't find one here. Cheers.

Hello all, Does anyone definitively know what size the fork seals for a 1970 CB175 are ?????? I have had 2 sets turn up now and both have been wrong. I "THINK" they are 41 x 30 x 9.5, but have no idea now. >:( Also can't find 41x30x9.5 seals anywhere. The recess in the fork is 40.9mm and the...

Hello all, Anyone using a Pertronix electronic ignition set up on their CB twin? I was looking at purchasing this and modding it to suit: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300349998044&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT Thoughts? Cheers.

Hello all, I purchased new fork seals for my 70' CB175 a few months ago and finally got around to replacing them this week. And as per usual, another hump in the road, they are the wrong ones. The add stated all CB175's, but these are the wrong size for mine. So, does anyone need fork seals for...

Hi all, I went to upload a pic today and got the following error message. An Error Has Occurred! The upload folder is full. Please try a smaller file and/or contact an administrator. I have not had any problems in the past, and the pic is only 240kb. Any ideas? Cheers.

Anyone know where to source a new / after market coil for a 70' CB175 in Australia. I know you can get an original from Honda, but surely they make a better, newer, stronger sparking coil these days to replace the original. Thanks in advance.

Hello all, Does anyone know if you can buy a pressure pack clear coat that is heat proof. I have polished the edges of the fins on my jugs and head and want to clear them so I don't have to continually keep up the polish. I am in Australia, so hopefully something available here. Thanks in...
