1971 honda CL175 and 1971/1972 S1/S2 restoration
« on: June 29, 2015, 04:58:30 AM »
HI All,

well we have dropped off the frames to the top 2 bikes to be painted last week. Almost done the CL175.

The Kawasaki s1 frame is being painted and I'm still buying parts for the S2 motor I'm putting in it.

here are some pictures of the Kawasaki rebuild so far:

will take more pictures of the CL175 later and post them up .

In for the CL175 build. I have a 71/72 that is complete and runs, but I want to give it some TLC.

Want to see more of the 175.
If it ain't raining, I'm riding.....~~{iii}?~~prost

If it sounds like I know what I'm talking about, it's because I cut and pasted from someone else.

Me too! I've been moving my 175 project from one side of the shop to the other, i'd like to see what you've done.
A few Honda 500's, a few Honda 550's, a few Honda 650's, '72 cb 450, a couple 500/550/650 hybrids, and 2001 750.
