Re: Honda Benly / CA90

Don't cafe that thing - Just keep it man and go back stock. Believe it or not they actually grow on you. Here's my 66 CA77 I just finished up.

Re: Honda Benly / CA90

Hmmm - bit of inspiration has me intrigued. Byrdman, assuming I wanted to take this thing back to stock in black like yours, anything I should know before tackling the job? Anything specifc about the CA90 vs your CA77?

Bill - I'll drop you a line to discuss the bike.
 
Re: Honda Benly / CA90

Well first of all is it a CA160 (160cc) or a CA95 (150cc) - I have never heard of a CA90 - but maybe thats because its a Canadian model. Check out honda305.com and honestly ask - I really just don't know enough about the other models to say for sure and I would rather not give bad advise. I didn't have any trouble finding parts for my Dream or my Superhawk. There are several online stores that offer reproduction and original parts for these bikes. eBay is a good resource, but watch out for price gouging as always.

Good luck!
 
Byrdman I believe it is the CA95 but you are much more well versed in this - I'm just trying to help a friend - more pics are of the PB link. Do they more of hint as to exact model?
 
Returned your call today - let's chat tomorrow and sort out a time for me to come see the bike.
 
All these bikes look a lot alike, but the engine looks like the CA160. The covers on what I guess are the ends of the cam (?) are flat 'caps' like on pics of the CA160, unlike the finned types on the CA95.
 
I think this is very close to the bike Persig rode in Zen & the Art of MC maint. Pretty sure it was a 150-160cc bike and this would be of similar the vintage. Byrdman can probably say which bike for sure.

He rode a 64 CB77 305cc Superhawk. Same era bike as this one though. I sent the pictures over to another forum to see if anyone could ID. Can you get any of the VIN #? The first four digits would probably be enough to ID - Frame vin will be by the side stand on the left hand side of the bike, engine will be on the top of the case on the right hand side. They will more than likely be different.
