i picked up a free rolling cl175 today....what a way to start the new year!!
alot of stuff is missing like the motor for one but i'm ok with that....give me a good starting point.
this is how i got the bike
starting to take the bike apart to bare frame
and finished!!
i'm thinking about sand blasting today but i have some cleaning to do in the house so hopefully tomorrow i'll sand blast the frame and swing arm and put the swing arm and frame back together.
had a few questions.
what should i do with my forks other then change the oil and seals....is it worth looking into better forks?? i'm going to be putting a cr500 engine in this poor frame but i will be beefing it up to handle the added power.
just so everyone knows this is just going to be a around the town fun bike that i will take to bike night so i dont care that the cr500 will have poor street manners.
are there any forks from other years that would bolt right up?
