My local Honda dealer stocks the new fork seals for that bike. $7.82 ea. You can order from them. Or, just run down to your dealer and pick them up.

Wife and I just got vinyl, foam and thread from Joanne fabrics and make a seat cover for about $125.00
No, that battery wont work w stock charging system. (seen to many lifepo batteries melt and explode on this forum over the years) AGM or lead acid battery will work all lot cheaper.
Use a dowel and tap the sprocket gently from right side.
Front rim looks great! You will need to balance them also. I dont see any cracks, but, Do you know the age of those tires...safest to assume its time to replace. That rubber is the only thing between your ass and the road. Personally, I like new wheel bearings too. And they are pretty inexpensive.
Turn the chrome spanner nut off key switch. 5ivemotos right. Spray w penetrant and tap it off. You can get a new one on ebay for about $12-15, shipped.
There isn't any reason that sprocket shouldn't come off. Just with your hands, grab it 180 degrees across on either side and rock back and forth with it. Shimmy it a little. Of course this is assuming you removed the bolts holding it in which it appears you did.
That battery may work but only if you get a rebuilt stator from Ricks Motorsports, but maybe not even then.
Got it off today with the help of wd-40 and a pry tool and lots of sweat.
I was under the assumption it would slide off the bolts like every other bike in the world, but not quite. Which makes me wonder besides the rust, the only thing holding this is basically a circlip?
Can someone please tell me what size fork seals I need, this is my 3rd pair ordered from 3rd different seller and they keep giving me the wrong size...
I can't find spec size in any manual, and went to Honda dealer they said they no longer make this part...
Why do you think they are the wrong size? Are you assuming they will just slide in by hand? Fork seals are press fit so they are slightly larger than the recess you are putting them in, making it necessary to tap them into place. Go to harbor freight and buy an impact socket that is about the diameter of the seal. Or go buy a PVC pipe with the same methodology. Freeze the seal overnight to shrink it, add a little grease to the outside of the seal, put it in place and tap tap tap it down into the seat evenly with the socket.
I bet you have bought the right seal set three times but if you want to try again...
My local Honda dealer...$7.82 each. Might call them just to be absolutely sure. But I never had a problem and every thing I order has been brand new Honda in the packaging.
There are a few different size seals for the 160/175/200 and one is not available without a lot of digging. What is the diameter of your fork legs and what is the bore in the slider where the seal fits? And what sizes have you bought?
There are two common seals 31 x 41 x 8 and 31 x 43 x 8.
CB160 and early 175 use the 43 OD and later alloy legs use the 41 OD. Most of the 41's are superceded or no longer available but we found 91255-464-004 seem to do the job
31MM ID X 43MM OD X 10.3MM H FORK SEAL SET
-were the ones I've ordered but they did not fit.
They are significantly larger than the oem fork seals I took off to replace.
I don't have calipers but I'm assuming the "43" is the part that's too large
but I think I had 31x41x9 and kinda ruined them trying to drive them down! What a disaster, i think the 9mm is too high because I couldn't get it down enough to get the circlip seated enough...
So what website is best for ordering parts online where I can get the correct 31x41x8mm Seals or is that 91255-464-004 because ive tried searching online a bit and cant find them. Thanks!!!
