PROJECT HONDA CD175A (SLOPER)

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

Seeing that tank shape takes me back to my teenage 250 cc years.

Your build is looking very good Paul - I can breath in the nostalgia your photos generate.

Pretty sure the rear brake pedal is on the left in the photo so they must have been right side gear change - tbh I just can't remember.

Great job Paul, coming on lovey....

The angle of the photograph makes the rear brake arm look to be part of the rear spindle, I had to keep looking at it to reassure myself that's not the case.

Prestige did a stunning job on the chrome, some of that I thought was beyond replating.

Looking very nice Paul

Prestige have always been fantastic.
Diane can be a bit feisty if you get on the wrong side of her, but knows her job when it comes to chrome plating.
Not the quickest but always worth waiting on.
Would have no problems recommending them to anyone.

Few more bits back on.
Rear light rebuilt and indicators.
Still looking for the hens tooth right exhaust

Looking mint, love it. Well done

Nice work Paul. 👍👍👍

Excellent work Paul. The sloper engine is very pretty.
I'm going to try Prestige as my plater in West London can no longer Chrome plate due to environmental issues.

You won't be disappointed but could be a wait.

Nice to see a project that's a bit different. All looks to be coming along nicely. In fact it's looking really nice Paul.

You need more bikes Paul, that garage is almost empty

  I'm going to get shut of a couple.
The K1 750 is getting too bloody heavy to be lugging around

You need to ride it and not to lug it about

I'm OK while riding it well on tip toe due to the height and saddle width  it's getting it in and out of the garage and moving it around to do work on the others
