Needs some tweaking but pretty happy with this little set up using Motobits kit for a Cb175. Spacers need turned down smaller and the shift side is being annoying because the bike frame is wonky, which is of course amplified in the rearset, not that you can tell from the angle of the photo...

Finally got the starter tested and refurbished. Looking good in satin black to match the engine: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Been quiet a while, busy moving house etc. Anyway, pleased to say I finally got the engine into the bike. Looks like a bike! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks - will do. I get stuff vapour blasted. It’s a finer finish. Although you still get metal dust and potentially some leftover over media which needs a good clean up as you say. [emoji106]

Don’t worry!

Thanks [emoji4] They are PE22’s. Which don’t fit around my frame of course. I’m not sure those are called journals are they? You may be right! In any case yes they’ll be painted but I’m not sure about their covers, or the clutch and rotor covers which I’ve left as they were for now while I...

Almost there with the engine, just got these blasted as I forgot initially. Sorry for the bad quality engine photo, poor lighting.

You mean the front brake caliper? Nope, I designed the bracket to fit the caliper so I didn’t look at any other calipers once I picked that one.

So the engine work is all finished - head and carbs were the final bits. Engine specialist has done a superb job machining the carbs, some pics below. More to follow at the weekend. Petrol and heat proof hose to sleeve together: I’m just waiting for a couple of these to arrive to go...

The carbs internals haven’t been touched - I bought new carbs (PE22’s) as the originals didn’t have enough metal for boring out.

The adjustable just refers to being able to position the vent tube to suit your set up.

It’s made specifically for a CB200 actually!

Some crankcase rebuilding pics.

It's actually a rear caliper, as you say, nothing decent for the front fits these little bikes. I'm not even sure this setup is going to work but we'll see. From memory its one of these: https://www.biketorqueracing.co.uk/buy/brembo-brembo-oe-rear-brake-caliper-black/20516181.htm

I haven’t tested it but I think so, it was actually working before but the coatings were starting to fail so I’m not sure it would have lasted too long. Cheap, £130 quid!

Just got my stator back from rewinding, looks great. Before: After: And a bit of both: :D

So the upsized Keihins, along with the original manifolds, have now been machined to match the new gas flowed intake ports ... ⠀⠀
