1973 XL175 Vitamin C Hell Ride

Re: 1973 XL175 Orange Soda Hell Ride

That Works kit looks good. Thanks.

I did a little 3M rubberized undercoating. I'm in Georgia. This bike will see mud.

I ran it around the block to give it a test. The first run is in the rain. The motor needs a few tweaks, but this bike is running. There are still a few little details to hash out (exhaust wrap, a new clutch lever [this one is cracked], tightening up the rear brake, clutch adjustment) , and then we can call it complete-ish.

Re: 1973 XL175 Orange Soda Hell Ride

The coolest thing about this so far (and the whole thing is rad) is that your first ride was in the rain. So glad you're gonna ride the wheels off it! Very very nice.

Looks great Eric........hope to see that thing running around Augusta, when spring comes.

Hopefully I'll have this little CB100 running by then.

Sweet, looks great, I use that same undercoating inside all the metal fenders I have etc. saves them from rusting away from the underside up.
 
Re: 1973 XL175 Orange Soda Hell Ride

You'll want that 6th gear in travel mode... I think that is a huge difference between the cb350 and cb360. And the better frame and the better clutch and the better CC's and.... And...
But the choice of the two is great... Plus it's shiny new.

Variety is the spice of life... And a healthy dose of adrenaline! I have been looking at dirt bikes as well. Different kind of cool...
 
Re: 1973 XL175 Orange Soda Hell Ride

Well, it took all of 24 hours to have the cops called on me. Haha. I guess scooting through the neighborhood and running laps in the back yard with the dogs at 10:30 at night is a bad idea. Time to drink whiskey.
 
Re: 1973 XL175 Orange Soda Hell Ride

Ha in trouble already, riding in the rain at night with the pack. Your a rebel man! Don't let them pigs hold you down!
 
Re: 1973 XL175 Orange Soda Hell Ride

Secretly all the neighborhood husbands wish they could be him.... Stay thirsty my friend.
 
Re: 1973 XL175 Orange Soda Hell Ride

Sure feels good to be out in shitty weather knowing that any other rider that passes you in a minivan really wishes they had the nards to be riding.

21"

I put 3.00 x 21 on the front and 4.60 x 18 on the rear.
Hey Eric, Bike looks great, Very nice work.

What's the actual width of your rear tire mounted? I'm looking at tires for my XL250 and want to stay as close to the stock 4.00 X 18 as possible. I've got a Shinko 244 3.50 X 18 mounted on my CB350 which is actually a little over 4" wide. Also thinking about the Shinko 241's.

Thanks
