Re: Third Times a Charm CB175

I was assigned making the rear subframe and Zeke and Brian started working on the wire buck front fairing. I had to hammer form the rear square tubing in da stump so that it had a nice curve and made the rear center frame gusset plate with a center raised detail. I also broke Bryan's brake...don't ask me how but I did.

Now that we had the sub frame we could get a center line to work off of and Bryan pulled out the plumb bob.

I forgot to mention that Brian made a control bar out of square tubing to establish the lower control line per the drawing and made the bend slapping the long bar against the floor and quoting Chip Foosisms.

Bryan hates welding the wire buck so he got it in its initial shape and we finished it.

Zeke learned how to use the tubing bender on the rear swing arm but I got to do these and then put them on the stump to make them look like wings

Ok at 7pm Wednesday we broke for dinner and there was a little design contention between the two builders Zeke wanted a fairing but the original design wasn't going to work with the shocks.

we are going to need a harness Zeke and I are tossing around the idea of an air shifter...we need to work out some other logistics

No problem.

Up shift and down shift or just up?

up and down for this bike...we may need to go to the microsquirt fuel injection also ;)

Now that would be fun. :)

You'll want a new stator before you go that route, though. Not enough juice coming from the one you have. A Rick's unit might be enough to get you there so long as you go with a full LED replacement (including headlight).
 
Re: Third Times a Charm CB175

2 way air shift is not as easy to organize as a single shift direction but 2 way electric shift units are readily available.

It's great to see the design and fabrication process and the twin shocks under the tank are an interesting design element. It would probably have been simpler and stiffer to keep the shocks in a conventional monoshock location further back with shorter swingarm braces, but that has been done before. Front forks look a touch short now. Do you have enough travel before the wheel hits something or the dust seals hit the lower triple?

Great to see how he designs the tank and overall shape and the small seat way up there looks really interesting. Side draft carbs are not a great idea but EFI might make it all come together. Fortunately the crank taper is the same as many Honda twins from that era, so it should be possible to get something with more juice. It might even be possible to install and inside out alternator with rare earth magnets from a later bike. What is fitted to a 250 Ninja for example? Or adapt an RS125 Honda race ignition and carbs. Lots of options.

We were concerned about the fork travel but Bryan told us he has used 2" on some of his other bikes. This is going to be his ride back and forth to work bike/bike night bike. He has a stable of vehicles he rides back and forth to work. This is his wife's bike...lol nobody has more fun riding to work LOL.
