Hey all, I'm looking at rebuilding the engine on my 68 Cl 175. Cylinders are pretty bad, thinking of boring them and putting in oversized pistons. Any suggestions? Have not done this before. Not really sure of what my options are, or where to find the oversized pistons/ rings and what...

Hey all! Going through the steps to get a new title for my 76 CB550 here in Colorado. Thought I'd share what I have learned so far. First of all, it is fairly inexpensive if your bike is more than 25 years old. You still have to Bond the bike, but you do not have to pay the 400 Bonding fee for...

I need a cylinder for a CL175 Late sixties to mid seventies will work, her engine was locked up. I discovered that the one cylinder wall has a groove in it, I don't have the tools or experience to bore it out myself, and the local mechanic wants several hundred to do the job for me. If I can...

Thought it was time I Properly introduce myself. . . I'm new to wrenching on bikes but I riding and wrenching are in my blood. Both my parents rode until just after they had me in '81. My dad still has pictures of his 1100 special. I started riding about 4 years ago then sold my bike (an 86...

You are all a bunch of bad influences ;) I only found this site a few weeks ago, and you haven't helped my addiction at all. . . then again, maybe you have. Anyway, I was asked to post some pics of my 76 CB550 which I've been working on since September, I had a slow start as I got married in...
