Hey everybody. I need a part manufactured but I can't seem to find anyone to do it affordably. Online Machine shop wanted $1,400 and the online 3d printer wanted $700. Is there anybody out there in Cafe land that would be willing to help? I'm willing to pay a reasonable price. I'd love to...

I'm the proud owner of the worst Ducati in Dallas. Despite many signs that I should have passed on the deal my excitement for what the bike could be got the better of me. I should have bailed when the seller mentioned an out of state title. We'll see how that works out in the long run. I should...

Hey fellas. It pains me to do it but it is time to list this bike. It was my first motorcycle and my first major resto-mod project. I built it on this forum with help from many of you. I hope somebody will love it as much as I do. I am offering for sale a one of a kind 1972 CB175 Super Sport...

Hey, i'm having a difficult time finding fork seals for my 175. I have purchased two sets. One from eBay and one from Bikebandit. Both arrived as 31x43x10.3. I tried like hell to install both sets to no avail. I tried several common installation methods including heating the seals to get a...

So, I find myself in need of a CB175 cam shaft. The tab that interfaces with the sparkadvancer broke off. Is it safe to assume that all 175 twins had interchangeable cams? Does anybody have a spare in good condition?

Hey everybody. I figured I’d start a new build thread. My CB175 truly is a Big-Arse project and taking much longer to complete than I could have ever imagined. Aaaaand the Triumph I bought to ride while I finished the 175 is a bit of a handful in town. So, I talked the wife into letting me...

Hello all. I have been working on buttoning up my wiring for my 1971 CB 175 for quite some time. I have completely rebuilt the wiring harness as I have replaced nearly everything that it connects to. I have reached a bit of a snag and need to call on the wisdom of the forum. The question I have...

Can somebody explain how to bench test the points on a CB175? Long story short, I'm not getting spark to the plugs and want to rule out the points. Thanks!

Does anybody know if there is a fork brace available for the cb175? I looked into Tarozzi but they don't list fitment for anything smaller than cb450. If not, I will just have to adapt something or make my own. thanks for the help guys!

Would a modern Scooter/Moped R/R work for use on a ballistic battery on a CB 175? Like this one for ex: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ATV-VOLTAGE-REGULATOR-RECTIFIER-50CC-110-150CC-SCOOTER-MOPED-TAOTAO-SUNL-ROKETA-/160799624804

So, I picked up a ballistic, 4 cell, lithium-ion battery for my cb175.(see my build thread page 7 or so) Somebody mentioned that the stock r/r wouldn't charge the battery properly. Does anybody know what kind of r/r I would need to charge this properly? Links are helpful too. Thanks all!

I know, I know this has been beaten to death. I spoke with a very reputable engine tech today and he mentioned purchasing a closed loop cam chain. Has anybody come across this kind of thing for these bikes? My personal experience says that this is impossible or at least very difficult to...

I had the engine/trans apart and now the kickstart lever only engages intermittently. Anybody know what I may have done wrong and how far I will need to break the engine back down to correct the issue?

I am looking at getting one for my CB175 and was wondering if anybody could give me some guidance on what I will need to order. I want to use it for both speed-o and tach. I have researched a bit and have found members using a "universal" or "air cooled" kit but I am having a difficult time...

So, my cb175 has spend the better part of the last 8 months with the engine in pieces. I have been attempting to put it all back together but kept breaking rings when I tried to put the jugs back on. No, I wasn't using a spring compressor...that would take the headache and swearing out of it...

This forum is awesome because you can ask questions and get real answers. There are some other forums COUGH triumph675.net COUGH, that answer every question with "did you search? The search function works. We already talked about it." There seems to be some forums that discourage discussion of...

Does anybody have a spare set of fork boots? I bought a set on the bay and they turned out all wrong.

Gentlemen, I have found my self in want of a modern sport bike to ease the pain of the "ever-lengthening-cafe-project" I am working on. I am looking for a stock mid 2000's, probably Japanese but not a must, 600cc+ sport bike. $6k budget. There seems to be quite a lot available in this price...

I have my Cb175 in all kinds of pieces. I forgot what this is and where it goes. It was bound to happen. Anybody know what it is?
