Hi there, So I'm working on a budget Honda CB160. I welded a new seat pan from the original and I'm now looking to get it upholstered, but all the shops I'm taking it to, are looking at around $350 to do the foam and upholstering. I don't mind doing the foam myself, but that only knocks off...

Alright, so I'm dealing with a few different issues here... I have rewired the bike and followed the wiring diagram... Here's what I'm getting.... I plugged the battery in and hooked up all the wires. when I test with a circuit tester. The Black (backbone wire) works so the neutral switch...

Hi there, I'm looking at picking up a set of CB160 original mufflers off of craigslist for $40 which is the best price I've seen for a set of these, but the guy said on the phone that one of them has a few small rusted through parts on the bottom of the muffler. He said that both are in...

So as the title says, I'm wondering what gauge to use? I'm planning to completely rewire my cb160 as the PO had rigged up some funny business for at least one wire on the outside of the harness, which leads me to believe there is obviously at least one bad wire within... So I figured since this...

So as the headline says, I'm looking to buy a decent set of CB160 rear shocks... I know a lot of people put Hagons on there, but I"m not looking to break the bank with the build right off the bat, but mine are really grungy and would cost more to re-chrome... So anyone have a decent set of...

So I have my engine apart, and I'm thinking about taking the cases and the cylinder head to the local do it yourself car wash and power washing them to get most of the dirt and grime off.. Is there any reason this would be a bad idea? Is there something I'm not thinking of that could be...

So I'm in the process of tearing my engine down, and from what I can tell, the upper and lower crankcases don't seem to have a gasket. When reassembling, is the best thing to just use Hondabond between these two? Or does it not require anything between these two? Side question, is it a good...

So I'm curious if anyone has used an Oxalic Acid Bath to clean the rust off a frame, swingarm and center stand? I'm thinking of using it clean the parts on my CB160 project... Or does anyone have a good route to take on these... Other than powdercoating? Thanks

I'm working on my 66 CB160 and most of my chrome pieces are in really bad shape. The side panels are not covered in rust, but have light splotches over most of them. From 5 feet away, they look okay, but up close you can see it. My brake arms (front and back) are pitted really good, as is...

I'm working on my CB160 and I finally got the cylinder head cover off (PB Blaster helped quite a bit), but now I'm running into the problem of the cam chain being stuck so I can't spin it to get to the cam chain joint. I believe the pistons are probably stuck at the moment. I squirted some PB...

So I'm trying to tear down my CB160 engine and already hit an issue... The engine is out of the bike and sitting on my work bench, but the cylinder head cover is stuck to the cylinder head. I'm assuming it's the gasket that has been sitting on it for quite some time through all kinds of...

And it begins.... Hello, so as the heading states, this is my first build and it is a CB160. The Born at Brewer's is because I picked it up at Brewer's Salvage Yard in Los Angeles. And it is going to be a lot of work. I have attached a photo below. There is a lot of rust and a lot of dust...

So I came across this bike on craigslist. It's a CB350 twin, and obviously it needs some help. Here's the link.... http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/mcy/3080381715.html He is asking $700, but I would not go above $500, or is that too high as well? So I what I would like to know is few...

Does anyone know if a seat like the one pictured here on a CB77 would work on a CB500 or CB550? Or is it possible to customize the seat foam/pan of a CB500 or CB550 to make it look like this?

I'm looking at a 1969 cb175 bike with a bent frame. What other year CB175 frames would fit say the engine, seat and most other parts off the 69? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
