Hi All,
I recently picked up a 66 CA160 in great shape. I cant seem to find a good electrical drawing for this bike. I tried the links that i could find on a previous post here but it was a bad link.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Johnny Tang
Thank You

Welcome JT.   FYI - this site is dedicated to the SOHC Hondas such as the CB750, CB550 & CB650.

May not get much response here about a CA.

Have you downloaded the manual?

Those are real simple, with a small dyno and selenium rectifier, a keyswitch that switches the headlights on in one position and no headlights in the other, a horn, electric start solenoid buttons and a Hi/Lo headlight switch. Not much ever went wrong with them, either. The CA160 and CB160 pretty much led the Honda street bike commuter revolution, starting around 1966.
See SOHC4shop@gmail.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

Blood is thicker than water, but motor oil is thicker yet...so, don't mess with my SOHC4, or I might have to hurt you.
