1970 CB175 BUILD.

Figured I better check the trash for my float needles. Sure enough... They are on the aluminum foil mid right in the photo. My idea of safe keeping I geuss...
 
Ever figure out what that blue circle is? I'm going to be pulling my carbs out and apart monday or tuesday - I can check for ya.
 
nope havent figured it. On the other carb there is both of them. Little brass circle with a small hole in the centre. hmmm. In the photo it shows the other on the right.

Oh....SEAT MOUNT FINISHED!! I just bolted it up & its sexy. Blue in photo represents rubber/neopreme gaskets. As well the blue circle is stainless allen to frame.
& Im loading my parts bike in the truck to haul it over to a friends for exhaust mockup. Hooray!

Enjoy!
 
recycled "profile" shot. Was posted a while back in this thread.

Things are coming together, but now Im wanting chrome rims. Mine are pitted so I was gonna go black. Might do some shoulders?

Anyways, Im gonna black out mine for now, dont wanna stall this build any further.

Is that how they do emission testing in Canada? :D

Kidding buddy. So did you get them mounted up yet?
 
e-test! haha yup. Not mounted yet, things are slow but Im still having fun. Will clean up the motor & mount the pipes for a glam shot this week.
 
this might come a little late, but a good step to add to your polishing is to rub it with #0000 steel wool and Mother's aluminum polish, followed by rag & polish. A nice, uniform, satin shine. If you can't remove those scratches then they're either from the scouring pad or #00 wool and you'd have to revert to whatever step and polish at each abrasive level again.
 
Yeah I went at it with a 3M pad first. Thats what got the scratches in. Then I followed with a 00 & 0000 steel wool. I wouldnt mind them vanishing, but polishing aint my forte. Thanks!
 
Hey Curb,
Not sure if your still looking for a satin epoxy paint.
Came across this at Canadian tire high heat VHT epoxy in satin or gloss, not identical to what I used but worth a try. ;D
