Yeah, it wasn't bad, but it was... Ehh. I've seen this recipe of "reality tv" already. Wasn't too interested. If it goes for a 2nd season, I'll make an attempt to get in the show lol

any of you guys tuning in to watch? I know of the shop here in Philly. Should be interesting, kind of seems like Gas Monkey Garage. Thoughts? http://dsc.discovery.com/tv-shows/philly-throttle

Some better pics of the exhaust since I dragged it out::

Finally buttoned all the little tid-bits up and took it for a spin to run errands. I cant seem to get it to idle well under ~2500 rpms, it just stalls out. other wise, not too shabby.

hmm.. i think this will fit my CB175. believe the carbs are 38 or 40mm. Whats the cost for you to pack and ship them to 19148?

looking good! I like the rise of those bars. you mind sharing what size it is?

Rad! That thing is super clean.

I decided to angle cut the exhaust pipes. Eventually I'll get some custom cone pipes to make it look aesthetically pleasing. Not too bad, it is pretty loud without the baffles though. Oh well lol. They're stamped CB350, so I'm guessing they're originally from one. Fits really well either...

Would be hilarious though. Thanks man, but this forum takes the credit. I'm pretty sure I'm going to like it around here lol

Got my CB175 running today, so decided to sell what I won't/don't need. These came with the CB200 motor I got for my CB. Not sure what anything is really worth, all new to the vintage bike game. All parts are coming from Philadelphia, PA, so local deals are welcomed, or Paypal. Shipping not...

lol so I went against the boat method, read this thread on here about clutch cables: http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=49727.0 turns out the clutch was stuck dis-engaged causing my "no compression" kick. Welllll I got it to fire up this morning! Im going to ride the 200cc until i...

I'm in south Philly about a rocks throw from the stadiums lol. if you guys are into modded cars, I had a pearl white maxima swapped and supercharged, and a black FD rx7 a few years back.

sounds good, thanks a bunch. I know the search button will most definitely be my best friend lol.

you know, I started reading and totally thought you were about to give me some crazy secret about the 200 lol. Since its out, once I get home from work in going to tear it down. Thanks for the helpful words.

good to know! I'm used to swapping engines in cars that take a good amount of time, and money. This literally took 1.5 hours out with the 175 and the 200 engine in. I'm going to pull the 175 apart, see whats going on with it. The story is that it was running, sat for a year and it seized. cross...

^^Thanks. I need to learn a thing or two about these things lol. From Sunday when I picked it up.

sup guys. New to the forum from the Philadelphia. Picked up a CB175 over the weekend. Needs some engine work but otherwise pristine.

So I picked up this all original '71 CB175. 4000 some-odd miles on it. Pretty clean, has some decent paint on it. I bought it with a seized motor, I didn't care, the color was too tough to pass up on. He was giving me a spare CB200 motor, scrambler pipes and carbs, although he was not certain...

thanks. I'm new to carb'd engines, so this will be a learning experience also. lol thats the first I got that question. I used the same screen name on every forum since 2004. My name is Mark.

So I've had my eye on a vintage small engine motorcycle for a while now. Ran into a deal on Craigslist for this '71 CB175 with a seized motor. All original, and the colorway caught my eye that I had to have this. picked it up for 500 bucks! Originally, I wanted to Cafe racer it out, but I'm...
