From what I can tell the pipe, handle bars and the tank.

The right engine case is different as well, or maybe they changed it on the S90 as well after the CL90 came out.    The moved the dipstick/oil fill down and out of the way of the high exhaust.

I had a CL90 that had an earlier S90 motor on it, and you had to remove the exhaust to check the oil.   :o

Buying days are over. I'll keep what I have.  ;)  Don't have much time as of late to ride them anyway.

So, you're keeping the CB160?   That would be good.   You put a lot of heart and soul into that one.

Always planned on keeping the CB160. It's my "almost to old to ride" bike. I had the Dream up for sale but decided to keep it. Just a cool bike.

Doing a little tune up on the CA77 and replacing the starter chain. Found some OEM points and I had the timing just a little advanced. Also dropped down to the correct tire size. The 3.25/16 tires were out of stock forever but I finally got a set. Shame they were not WW huh?

What your saying is Corky wasn't much of a "corker" then ?

Talked with Mark for an hour yesterday. Mark is the guy with all the bikes you guys were pooling together to buy in Bend, OR. if you remember the post. He sent me a link on a CB77. He knows I'm looking for one.

In the last two years I have made several contacts. Funny, but other people feel the same way I do and other "deals" have been shady to say the least.

Let's just let this thing rest. I'm done. So are others.
