Early Honda twin? not later ones as no balance conector pipe

I had a tank on a CD175 that looked like that one it was about J or K reg.

Cheers

From memory the CD/CB175 had the balance pipe underneath

My K plate CB175 certainly had a balance pipe.
What about the model that preceded it?

The '69 looked like this - so maybe not a 175...

That looks similar to the tank on a 1968 CD175 that I once bought as a basket case.

It had a pressed steel T bone frame, a 4 speed gearbox and no electric start.

The tank had chrome side and rubber knee pads.

Just like this one: http://www.microverse.on.ca/cd175/sloper1rh.jpg or this http://classic-motorbikes.net/images/gallery/10016.jpg

Certainly looks like the CD175 from the Honda catalogue of 1975/6.

My CD175 (75) had the balance pipe.
