That 175 is immaculate. Nice find. Should be a fun runaround

I like cr.net.

Smart guys over there that know their shit.

If they are telling you that you're doing it wrong, you're most likely doing it wrong.

Nice CL!

Lines of the seat looks good. Tasteful, not one of those giant blobs some people tack on ;D
Going to upholster the whole thing?

Yea I plan on it. I was thinking of maybe doing a black denim. I took it to get a quote for a cover made, they wanted $300! Might just try the denim cover myself.

Slowly progressing. I've done some work on it, but have been working on another project lately. I'll post pictures soon.

It's been a while since I've posted and update. A good deal on a dime city brat seat popped up on eBay so I decided to go that route. I got most of the wiring done on the bike and have ridden it around. It ended up dying on me after about 20 mins of riding. I read somewhere that the rick's rectifier/regulator may have something to do with it. Also, I did pick up a 71 cb750 and have been working on it.

That bike would have been a great restoration.

Man, I wish I had that many old bikes kicking around. Nice finds!
