well done. Mine aspires to become half as nice as yours... props.

Fantastic! Thanks for that. I'm also looking into some rearsets but, as I'm sure many of you know, Brent over at Motobits is not machining new parts for a while. I was wondering if anyone know what the best alternative was for a CB175? His were reportedly the best as they nearly bolted right...

well it did die on me when i was out the other day and the battery had no charge to it, so yeah, luckily it's easy to give a rolling start (as I took off the kick-start lever). Taking the Carbs apart today... maybe I can figure out this idling issue... Anyone have any pointers on shortening an...

I'm planning to do the same thing on my CB175 with a large dent towards the back left of the tank. Let me know how yours turns out and how you did it... could use some pointers before I start whacking away.

As you can see from the tank, it's got a big freakin dent on the sides, and while I was prepping the filler I thought, why not just use this to my advantage and make some knee dents. I have no idea how to go about this though, I've seen some others that turned out nicely, but I could use a few...

Thought I'd share this with all of you as I've been browsing a while and appreciate the wealth of knowledge on this forum. I picked up this 1970 CB175 off craigslist for $500. Everything's there, and short of a slight idling problem and stripped taillight mounting bracket, the thing is in...
