Been Around the Block
Well, I've had this 175 for over a year now and with my recent move and lack of room for so many projects I had to decide which ones I wanted to work on first and get started. Financially and ability wise the 175 came out on top. Aside from carb cleanings or tearing bikes apart and never doing anything with them this is my first full build. I've got limited internet access and funds are practically none, as I'm getting layed off Dec. 31st. Anywho, right now I'm tearing the bike down and getting it ready to be cleaned up and start reassembling it.
I've got most of my plan layed out. I'm just trying to decide if I want to go with white or pearl white for the paint and I need to learn how to polish metal. Eliminating the inner fender, bobbing the front and rear fenders, eliminating blinkers and blinker wiring. Plan to delete the starter as well, but I'm not 100% on that yet. Also contemplating ditching the points since I don't know how to set them, but that would probably be dictated by finances.
When I'm able to get pictures of the bike as I got it online, I'll definately post them. Any suggestions or advice is welcomed, but I won't be changing the direction of the build as a bobber has been my plan since I found the bike.
