CB160 parts
« on: May 19, 2023, 03:57:12 PM »
Met an old bloke, 85, last night at a bike meet. We got chatting and he mentioned he'd had various old Hondas over the years with the last one being a CB160. He'd since sold it and bought himself a little monkey type bike (which he was riding that night) but he did mention he still had quite a few parts for the CB160 that he wanted to get rid of. He mentioned a tank and some cranks but I got the impression there were lots of other parts lying around. I mentioned the site and told him to pop on and see if they were of any interest to members on here who were restoring a CB160, are they? I have no idea of how rare these parts are or even if they have any value, if he fails to come on I may see him again next week and I can ask for a phone number if there is any interest.

Anyone interested?

He also mentioned a CB77 and a C100, I got the impression he still had the C100, 1965 I believe.
