Hi All
« on: April 05, 2025, 08:25:53 AM »
Hi Guys,Gals
                        Just got back to restoring my Honda 175cd after a short 30 year break, so I can do with all the support and help from the seasoned restorers .
Got the bike when I was young and foolish ,now I'm just foolish. Back then i took engine apart and replaced the kickstart shaft, and replaced the rings I think, and put engine back together ,all the tinwork was painted candy sapphire blue, I'm in Tipperary ,i Know its a long way......

Built more than i care to remember back in the 70's.
Only hint is when running do not push it hard till its warm or you will shatter the rings
