Yeah they actually bolted up really easy, had to modify those mounts a bit but nothing too drastic really. Hopefully the title will be back in a couple of weeks, i am itching to ride some and i got a ways to go on the 350 too, it has a title but still mid rebuild on engine for it. For tires, I...

Cool, glad to see how much love there is for these 175s. I am still waiting on title stuff for mine, hopefully i will be riding soon! I ended up order FZR600 rearsets and just as said they do line up with the bolt spacing perfectly, had to modify the mounts for the swingarm bolt to the frame...

I hope i didn't jinx you by saying anything ;D I think I am going to go the same route, 83 dollars and if it works that is pretty cool. If not then I am only out 83 dollars and I learned a lesson. But if it worked for you then I am pretty comfortable trying that route. Guess i will go ahead and...

Out of curiosity did you have any problems with using ITS? I have read all good reviews but since you have first hand experience thought I would ask. How long did they take etc...?

Thanks guys, I had read that ITS wouldn't work so i didn't want to waste the money but that is awesome that it will, that was the original plan until i saw that NC would not allow it. I even saw one story of an office being sent to collect a title from the owner? . I don't see any problem with...

I searched around the forums and it doesn't seem like, unless I did a bad job, that anyone has pulled off or posted about getting a title in NC for a bike that came without paperwork. If anyone has pulled it off I think a few of us could benefit from any advice. It seems as if NC is one of the...

I would love to see some more if you don't mind. That would save me some time in borrowing a welder if I can make those work. I would probably trust the work a whole lot more too :) My welding skills haven't been used in quite some time now and this isn't the kind of thing i wanna chance it on...

Thanks, that is some good advice! I honestly hadn't even noticed that. I have been trying to get the carbs adjusted right and haven't put any focus to it yet. I got some wiring to finish up with and then I think I can start with rear-sets. I finally did get the carbs sorted out and tuned pretty...

There are some good examples around the site that I have seen. Price wise if you have the proper tools at your disposal then making them is definitely the best way to go. Really sucks that Woodcraft or some other company doesn't make an affordable set for these older bikes. My 175 is getting...

Cool man, i will let you know if i get down there i have some friends that i been meaning to visit at some point. Yeah Chris is a great guy! Take a couple weeks off and come up here and get it done! :)

Yeah for sure, hit me up if you get up this way man. It is great up here as you know, I like it out in Weaverville, still close to Asheville but real quiet and still lots of land without walmarts :) I like the walmart but Asheville has about 4 or 5 and is tiny. Getting rediculous. Yeah you are...

Thanks, I am in Weaverville which is right outside of Asheville, hardly anyone has ever heard of Weaverville :) You around this area too?

Thanks and I will take the good luck in either situation! Maybe more so for trannies than transmissions ;D. I am thinking after a day of solid thinking to clean the clutch plates and see if they are sticking, seems unlikely but I am being optimistic for now. I was pretty close until transmission...

Hi all! My name is Tom and I have been riding for years but mainly newer model sport bikes like R1's, 600RR, older 750's and what nots. I have been wanting to build a older vintage bike since I was a teenager and just now found something for a good starting price. I bought a 71 Honda CB350...
