Been Around the Block
this is my first post and build. i picked up a '73 honda cb175 when i was visiting sacramento. i couldn't pass it up. so i got a trailer and brought it back home to long beach. kick over but the battery was dead and tank drained. i wanted to do a good tune up and change the body up some. as of right now i'm just tearing it down to clean everything up, repaint frame & tank, learn a bit about my bike and get this thing on the road asap. i'll be asking a bunch of question. i have done a lot of searching on the site already but there are always questions since i'm pumped on this project. i work on car engines at work and hope this won't be to big of a job for me. i'm a sponge right now and am wanting as many pointers and tips for the build. here are some pics
first day home

i know this isn't going to hit the ton but i plan on boring 1mm over, thinning out seat, clip ons, i want to do rearsets but have question about doing this with a two up seat since i want to have to wife ride with me, other than that i'm changing smaller brake and rear turn lights taking the front turns off. i want to make the bike kick start only any advice on how i had trouble finding info through the search. thanks again i'm so pumped to be doing this more pictures to come when i work on the bike.
