Cb175 K0?
Arch stanton:
I'm thinging of putting a 5 speed gear cluster from a K6 into my sloper. But I'm not sure yet.
Also I'm led to believe the sloper generator puts out enough power to run 12v. So I just need to change everything else.
Has anyone here done either of these mods?
I like to keep things original. But I think these mods would greatly improve the little sloper.

Back in the early 80's I converted a couple of CD175s (not slopers) to 12v, as the generator output is determined by the battery voltage. Changed the battery, ign coil and condensor, flasher unit, horn and bulbs for 12v items, job done! Worked perfectly for more than 2 years as everyday hacks, then sold them on.

I must get on with it. As the 6v system is far too weak.
I wish I could do the same with my Xl250 Motorsport.
That has 3 generator coils 1 for Ignition. 1 for Battery.
1 solely for the headlight, which is amazingly good.
But the Battery/indicators are amazingly bad!

I seem to remember that I just swapped all of the 12v electrics from a CB160 onto my sloper back in the day but when I sold it the buyer insisted that I swapped it back to 6V standard parts ? Alternators have come on so much, due to rare earth magnets. For a work project a few months back, I rewound an aftermarket HD 50A alternator with PEEK coated magnet wire for 250v output/three phase. We were pulling 1.25 kW from it when we tested it and the magnet wire was still within it's current rating.
I wonder if that CD175 sloper project on eBay is genuine mileage?
Arch stanton:
If the milage is genuine. Makes me wonder why the tank badges have been changed.
Also the rear tyre looks like a Dunlop SM. Surely a Sloper would not have scrubbed of its original tyre in 4k miles. Though it could have been changed out of preference.
But the tank badges???
