CB160 Basket Case
« on: November 21, 2010, 05:50:26 PM »
Picked up a '64 CB160 without title for next to nothing.  It has good compression and kicks over freely.  Most of the parts I need are there, but plenty will get replaced in the build.  Inspiration is Jason Lee's (former) bike...but I'd really love to build it up for vintage racing.  My problem is that I tend to 'over do' most projects and in the end, I'm too protective of em to take to a track.

Here's a shot of what it looked like day 1:



And what it looks like today:





The great news is that I was able to score a clean Indiana title despite not receiving one when purchased!

Not sure what direction to take this one...I need to finish up on my 350F/400F hybrid.  Hopefully, I'll be cracking on this one by March '11.

I had a '67 CL175 that was a lot like that.  Traded it towards the 550 stuff I have now...
