    Bump, prices listed are OBO. Did a quick reference with ebay so I may be way off on some things.

    1972 CB175 Seat and Assorted parts, Tallahassee FL

    I'm trying to sell off everything I removed during my "conversion." All prices are shipped/obo. If youre local, we'll negotiate. Same if you want multiple items. Offers will be considered, but i've got bills to pay. I accept paypal for payment, cash if local. No trades. All parts original...

    Long Time Lurker, First Build Pics

    Re: Re: Long Time Lurker, First Build Pics I'd really like to fabricate(or at least design) it myself for reasons of cost and pride. I think I may just splurge and have someone weld me up a lever thats hinged in the stock location, but snake the lever end behind the case. It seems i've got...

    Hi there from Elmira, N.Y.

    Lots of us new guys showing up with CB175's. Definitely worth the work, they're a barrel of monkeys running right. Thats odd about it losing a cylinder once its hot though. That would immediately make me think there's a coil issue, but seeing how the same coil fires both cylinders, maybe a...

    Weight won't have much bearing on your top speed, just how quickly you get there. Now how well you tuck, that makes a big difference. I'm 6' 165lbs and sitting up vs getting aero is a night and day difference. On the mechanical side of things, check your compression, your points gap/timing...

    No worries mayne. I havent been on a forum of any kind in a while, im sure I'm just being hypersensitive.

    Long Time Lurker, First Build Pics

    Awkwardly, for now. I mention in the OP a couple times that its the last hurdle left to clear. Maybe spend more time reading and a little less trying to be clever :P? You guys think it would be easier/cheaper to rig up a cable actuated system or try and retain the stock pull-rod style?

    Nice, definitely love my little 175. They scoot plenty well when theyre running properly.

    Long Time Lurker, First Build Pics

    Whats up homies, been browsing on here for a couple years meow and subsequently caught the bug pretty bad. About 6 months ago I sold my '74 BMW 2002(still regret that) and went on the hunt for a project bike. After about 6 weeks of searching, a female ridden and very well maintained(husband)...

    Right Header Significantly Hotter than Left CB175

    Swapped the 100's in today and I think it solved everything. Rideability issues cured. Plugs look perfect. Sounds much better. Theres still a difference in temperature between headers, but they both feel reasonably warm now. Once I get home with my real tools i'll be able to get my points...

    Right Header Significantly Hotter than Left CB175

    95's made a big difference in drive-ability, plugs still look pretty damn lean after a 50mph cruise. I ordered some 100's that should get here on friday. My bike has some free-er flowing mufflers, that are also loud as a mf'er, so I figure it cant hurt. Might end up feeling silly if I end up...

    Right Header Significantly Hotter than Left CB175

    The local Honda dealership supposedly has 95 mains for $4 each. I figure for $8, its a good place to start. Hopefully i'll have some optimistic news by this afternoon.

    Right Header Significantly Hotter than Left CB175

    So I dont know if I was drunk yesterday or just stupid, but the needles were in their middle position, not the lowest as stated before. I pulled the carbs, double checked their cleanliness and float height. Passages were clear and the floats were at the recommended 21mm. I then raised the...

    Right Header Significantly Hotter than Left CB175

    Wasn't intending to be too defensive, and I obviously do want help, but I am familiar with the basic functions of the various carb components. Valves/compression are my next things to check, but I am stuck at my parents house without my compression or feeler gauges, so i'm flying blind in that...

    Right Header Significantly Hotter than Left CB175

    I'm not sure what youre getting at there, but no need to be condescending. My mixture screws are adjusted damn near identically left vs right and while syncing them I found that adjusting them in either direction makes the bike misfire/stumble if I go more than a half turn either way. If...
