Just moved to Eau Cliare from Colorado. I'm working on an 80 xs850, a 76 cb550, and a 72 t250. Looking for people to wrench and ride with. Also advice on a decent local shop. Cheers!

PM sent.

Just check'n to see if anyone has tried CO. yet? I have a '76 Honda that could use some assistance.

Hey all, I'm looking at rebuilding the engine on my 68 Cl 175. Cylinders are pretty bad, thinking of boring them and putting in oversized pistons. Any suggestions? Have not done this before. Not really sure of what my options are, or where to find the oversized pistons/ rings and what...

Hey all! Going through the steps to get a new title for my 76 CB550 here in Colorado. Thought I'd share what I have learned so far. First of all, it is fairly inexpensive if your bike is more than 25 years old. You still have to Bond the bike, but you do not have to pay the 400 Bonding fee for...

Just wondering if this service is still available, will be sending a PM, I have a 175 that is in need of assistance.

Welcome Hans, I'm up in FoCo. Sweet rides, keep us posted!

Re: CL175 (Orange is done... for now) Hey all. Life caught up with me again. Back now. I finished up this bike in July, It is licensed and ready to ride. As I mentioned before I was restoring this bike for my mother to ride to and from work. Unfortunately she is still waiting on getting...

Hey ajaf, Welcome, I''m guessing I'm the other guy in FoCo. Building a 76 CB550 and digging into a 68 Cl175 this winter. Glad to hear there are more here in the fort! Hows you're progress on the bike? I'm fighting with getting mine titled at the moment. close though.

Well, they look a damn sight better than mine. I would guess just a hone would do it. If you run your finger down the wall towards the edge (top and bottom) can you feel a "ridge"? If not then a honing should be all they'd need, and I would be interested in taking those of your hands.

BigR- well... might you be willing to part with the one you have? if not I'm going to wait it out on ebay. Wissy- thanks, but I have a set right now that I could use if I wanted to bore it out, but I'm trying to save money. All I need if I get my hands on the cylinder is some piston rings and...

BigR- I spoke with Micheal from Batemans a while back and he said that the sloper and vert style cylinders were identical, and that any year would be safe. Just to make sure someone didn't deck the cylinders too much. Wissy- Yeah looks like the same motor. Don't know if I could save the...

It's an odd one, I'll need to check, It is a 68 or 69. I thought they would swap. That's unfortunate.

I have a 75 airbox, I'm pretty sure it's the same, If you still need it.
