Honda CL description
1973 Honda CL175. Over the winter this motorcycle was disasembled and the following repairs or parts were replaced.
New battery, seat cover, piston rings and cylinders honed. Motor is still on original bore. Previous owner had stripped spark plug hole so "Time Serts" were installed in both spark plug holes while head was off. Carbs were cleaned and all needles, jets and springs replaced. New drive chain, front brake light switch, accelerator cables and exterior engine bolt kit. Now has hex bolts for all engine covers.
The gas tank was cleaned and sealed at local radiator shop. All dents were fixed and tank and side covers sprayed with Honda Ruby Red. New fuel petcock then installed.
While engine was at machine shop all valve seats and valves were recut. One new intake valve was installed at that time as prior owner had bent valve when trying unsucessfully to chase spark plug threads.
New rims and spokes have been installed. Wheels were trued by local motorcycle shop. Frame was cleaned, primed and painted.
Original owners manual is included as well as a clear title. Motorcyle was purchased from Johnnys Vintage Motorcycle February 2013.
Motorcycle has been ridden around the block since being put back together and everything works as it should. Could use new back brakes at some point.
Now for the bad, the exhaust is rusted and fork tubes are somewhat corroded. Most of the crome needs to be replaced if you want a show bike and engine needs to be polished or painted to be really nice. Also the side cover emblems are pretty faded and rough. The tank emblems look pretty nice but are not show quality.
This is not a perfect show bike yet but as you can see from the pictures will look nice in someone's collection.
Please ask any questions. Just ready to sell to clear up some room for next project. Buyer pick up only. Will work with your shipper.

Casey Stoner To Test Factory Honda At Motegi
Mon, 22 Jul 2013British publication MotorcycleNews.com is reporting that 2007 and 2011 MotoGP world champion Casey Stoner will test a factory Honda RC213V at the Twin Ring Motegi, Honda’s test track, August 6-7. Stoner’s shock retirement from MotoGP at the end of the 2012 season was met with skepticism in some circles, as many believed (and still do) that the 27 year-old, current Australian V8 Supercar driver would eventually make a comeback to two wheels. As it stands, HRC has no plans to enter Stoner as a wildcard entry at Phillip Island or Motegi MotoGP rounds, and insists the former champion’s services are being used strictly to help develop next year’s RC213V and the 1000cc production racer Honda plans to introduce next year.
The Japanese oddity to naming teams
Wed, 28 Jul 2010Whenever the calendar shifts to a major Japanese race, such as the Suzuka 8hr, one of the more amusing things to do is glance down the team sheet This years highlight for me has to be team Moto Bum, with other stand outs including aprilia D.D.BOYS, Team Etching Factory Yamaha and MITO MOTO & e'freaks Honda. Looking back through the ages some of the great Japanese team names have been Burning Blood Racing Team, Dog Fight Racing and Team Moto Space amongst others.

Schwantz Ousted From CotA
Wed, 20 Mar 2013CotA management obviously doesn’t fathom the depth of respect MotoGP fans have for Kevin Schwantz. It may be the newest and best racing venue in the U.S., but it seems as though CotA management is going out of its way to make motorcyclists dislike the place. Statement by Kevin Schwantz: “I have read several reports regarding my attendance at the MotoGP test last week in Austin.
