PROJECT HONDA CD175A (SLOPER)
Johnny4428:
Looks like a nice job Paul! Exciting times!
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
It's looking good Paul can't wait to see what colour the tank & side panels will be I'm guessing Grey/Silver but secretly wishing for something more bling. ;) ;) ;)
In all seriousness I like the original tank colours do the side panels need some contrast perhaps - no Ted they do not?
Oddjob:
Not a big fan of these old Hondas but that's starting to look very nice Paul, like the colour.

Nice one ..hoped you would Paul ;). Honda NOS exhaust are better than money in the bank. Quite a few of my old Hondas I bought the exhausts NOS before actually buying the bike they fit.
The colour is 'Black Metallic' code XE, the same as my JDM CB250 'Dream'. It's actually more like a gunmetal grey. RS Bikepaints didn't have that paint so I 'loaned' them a NOS fork ear to match it too, which they lost >:( their colour designation for it is 'Honda Lava Grey' (not to be confused with Audi Lava Grey). My original sloper back in 1972 was that colour but my sloper now I did in Neptune Blue Metallic only because it was a Honda UK press bike and it was that blue originally.
This is the Dream 250 in Hondas Museum. Colour looks a bit dark but it's deffo XE code. XE parts I have owned NOS were all different shades !
