« on: April 06, 2025, 03:33:49 PM »

Hi Sump Magnet, BryanJ Laverda Dave,Johnny4428
Thank you guys for the good advice I will go with the replace all Rims and (Stainless)spokes and Exhausts if possible to source, I was thinking of just powder painting the hubs in grey ,?? and any advice on who to purchase the rims from would be great I have looked at Centeral wheel components ,and david silver spares ,but since brixit if you guys have any other non UK sources (the Tax is lets just say Taxing) I have a friend over there that would post them over but ,I would prefer to sort out myself....I think i seen a lot of Wheel rims in Thailand anyone any experience??
Thanks again
Oh Yes Johnny4428 the handles and hinges from Chromefix were very bling ,they would be too much for a bike ok

Hi Everyone
restoring Honda 175cd ,and I have original rims and a set of exhausts not in great condition ,rims look like they could be saved but just wondering about quality of pattern parts ,everything from david silver spares to the ones further afield.Or can you even get mufflers rechromed I am a bit clueless in that reguard. any hel or advice would be great. I have gotten parts (hinges and handles for old Dresser )rechromed by Chromefix in the UK before Brixit (they were vgood) but expensive .So just want to hear your thoughts and experiences ...Thanks in advance.

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......
