Honda Fan in Central Illinois

[Genghis John]

Hi, folks.

I've begun work on a couple bikes:

* a '72 Honda CL175 Scrambler that my late dad rode and which I intend to restore, as money allows, to stock condition; the machine sat in a barn for decades

* a '78 Honda CM185T Twinstar that I picked up for $200, which will be my mod project; it's clean, runs, and just needs a little fiddling before the real fun begins

I've found great info on DTT to date, so I thought I'd give back by sharing some links for other vintage Honda owners. A quick sample from my bookmarks archive …

If you're working on a Twinstar and have advice (or bike pics) to share, let me know.

Welcome to the forum! Thanks for all those links. I've added a few of those to my repitoire of bookmarks. Great stuff.

Would love to see some pictures of your bikes if you have them.
