WOW! That brings back memories. When I was 15 years old, I bought one for $150. The only difference was that it had chrome fenders and side covers. I ran across one about 10 years ago at a Honda shop in Memphis, wish I would have gotten it and restored it.

Pic?

No, don't have one. Bought from Eastwood. HF sells them a little cheaper.

Don't use it often, takes time but results are good. I plug it in and go to bed. Let it run all night.

Hate hind sight.  ::)

I still want a CB77 but this bike should be a blast to ride. Turning out better than planned but cost is getting high. Mostly my fault but I just don't go half way.

The "key" to any bike that is 40+ years old is the completeness of it. (any bike for that matter) I was fortunate on this one as I had something to start with.

Thought I would post a couple pictures of the "odd ball bikes" CB160 project. ( :P)

 ;D ;D

Still waiting on carburetors and my, well let's just say "brain fart" and leave it at that. Don't ask, don't tell.  ::)







Hope you "big boy 750 riders" aren't offended. (lmao)

Yep, still here.    I've been busy getting ready for Christmas, and working on my R75/5.
I wish I lived close to you.   I'd love to see your bike in person.   I'd also be able to ride.  I've got heated gear and can deal with cold, but, we just got two winter storms, and now the roads are contaminated with the evil rust inducing salt.   I won't subject any of my bikes to that.

Found a good left muffler today. Still need right. Found correct side cover for the 350G also. It was a good day.

Look good!

I'm in need of a decent pair of mufflers if you see any more (thanks!).

Wow...duel exhaust, looks cool!  tt, is rare see something that you've overlooked but the exhaust valve adjustment covers are looking a little sad, ya know?

I'm not sure if they were the color of the engine or Silver. Thoughts?

tt

AFIAK, they are to be the color of the engine.  You wouldn't want them painted, as you'd chip removing/reinstalling them at valve adjustment time.

Where have you been? Welcome back.

I have a nice left coming my way. The ones on the CB160 were the original. I just cleaned them up.

Will not be swapping the left muffler.

Where have you been? Welcome back.

Just been real busy, haven't been keeping up with this, or the many other forums that I frequent.

You're making nice headway on your CB160, it looks great!

Not the  weight but style.............I do not like the look of the 77/78 750.  My present one is a basket case that I have no desire to rebuild.  I had sold it at one time but bought it back because the buyer made me an offer I could not refuse.  The other one I had seized and I parted it out.
