Hi Guys
I have just got rebuilt wheels back fot the 1972 cb175 and now looking for tyres .
2-75 x 18 and 3-00 x18
I really wanted a period looking rib on the fronyt and in Dunlops can only find K82's
which is the pattern we commonly used (i think they were TT100's then )
The only rib i can find are cheng Shin , I'm not a racer and will endevour not to go out in snow or pouring rain
so has anyone had experience of these please?
Ta Rich

As the 750 k0 is now all sorted i thought it was time to start another one.
This may seem a bit sad to some but i do have a habit of living in the past.
 Back in 1972 i had a CB175 new ,the first bike i had ( forgetting the li125 lambretta i had before that).
A bike i always loved i had if for only a year and sold it to my twin brother who eventually sold it on to some mate of his
who kept falling off of it and eventually he sold it to his window cleaner (I found that out a couple of years ago )'
 Talking to a customer three or so years ago he did the DVLa check and there it was ,on the road somewhere
After loads of attempts to track it down i have given up but in the process i bought last year the bike in the photos here .
My bike was DKL54K and as you can see this id DKL69K it came out of the same dealer the same day as mine back in 72 so
the plan is to restore this one.
I will then have something smaller to ride when the years catch me up.
Menno has done the paint for me. Frame is now in primer and a lot better condition than i thought it would be.
I have a brand new crank and 2 doner bikes for replacing any rough parts.
The engine is stripped and apart from a broken starter motor mounting screw no major problems.
Dissembled mudguards for chrome stripping prior to dent removal and re polishing ,chroming and then rivet back together again.
Thats enough rambling ,i'll update as things happen

Hi All
Well as you know bike finished now, the rev counter was bouncing about all over the place so
hit the internet and SOHC. Net came up with the answer and it seemed to be the damper pot empty of oil.
I duly bought the required silicon grease and stripped the thing to bits and yes the pot was dry.
I put a small amount in the pot ,sealed it up an re assembled the taco.
All seemed to be moving freely and i was happy with the way it went.
  Disappointment no movement at all now.
Does anyone know if all of the K series revcounters innards will fit ? if so there are some cheap
ones on ebay that may do the trick.

Bike so near finished and now fitting tank badges.
The paint work is a Yamiya body kit, masses of paint on it, i had to open up the
petrol cap pivot holes to get the pins in.
I'm fitting the badges, do the little forked clips go on the badges first or do they go into the holes in the tank
and then push the badges on?.
I'm assuming the holes will need the paint removing or they may be too tight to push on.
I don't want to get them half way on and get them stuck.
Cheers Rich

Thought Royal Mail was expensive

The K0 is coming together well now and i have a inner rear guard but it isn't that pretty
 and the bike is looking so good i don't want to use it.
I'm looking for a new one the link here says k3 on but as far as i can see they seem to be the same after k0

anyone know if it will fit without major problems?
cheers Rich
