Heaven is so far away.
I've been checking out this site so much it's actually hindering my work on the bike and figured it was about time I introduce myself. I just bought a 68 Honda CL175 in the middle of September and just planned on using it for a trail bike. But then a found this forum and couldn't leave that little Honda alone. So far I've had it tore down to the frame twice (surprised it only took about 5 hours) for misc reasons. Here's a little list of done-so-far:
sandblasted/painted frame
started polishing up some aluminum
cut off muffler - installed some baffles
wrapped pipes with fiberglass
tore apart carbs to clean them and got some foam filters (didn't have any filters when I bought it)
replaced monster front fender with plastic
replaced headlight bucket (but then took off the replacement)
bought a nice little speedo from J&P Cycles
