    Hey all!! Finally getting around to posting some pics of my project. In my intro I said that I purchased a random rust bucket from FB Marketplace just before Halloween. Here is what it looked like when I got it. After some quick research I found out it was a CL175 from 1972. Most everything...

    I feel this is a long shot but does any one recognize these metal bits I found when splitting the case? I don’t see where they might have come from.

    Hey everyone! Someone told me about this site and I’m glad they did. I recently came across a barn find that I couldn’t pass up and I’d like to rebuild. It’s a 1972 Honda CL175. She’s a bit rusty but the engine does turn over. I’ve restored old mopeds in the past so I wanted to try my hand at...
  4. Fuel Supply and Carburation
    I recently purchased aftermarket mikuni vm20 carburetors for my 1970 cl175. I went to install them on OEM intake manifolds and they do not align. I realized that the bracket on the carburetor is symmetrical while the manifold is offset. Does anybody know an aftermarket manifold that will work or...

    Hello all, I smashed my speedometer on a turn and snapped off the cable. I’ve already replaced the cable with the appropriate part number through 4into1 and assembly was a breeze. I had my first test ride the Friday before Father’s Day weekend, and noticed that the speedometer shot to 100mph...

  9. Fuel Supply and Carburation
    Hi, New to the forum and it looks like a great resource for a beginner restorer. My current project is a 1971 CL175 Scrambler. Everything is coming together nicely as parts are easy to find. My problem is the seat. The original is pretty much shot and it looks like there aren't a lot of...

    Hi Everyone, I've been trying to chase down documentation (workshop manuals and owner's manuals in particular), for each of the motorcycles I have, and was having trouble finding a good scan of a Cl175 owner's manual anywhere online. I found an NOS one on eBay and bought it because it was...

    Greetings from Eastern Connecticut! New to the this forum but no stranger to old Hondas. Have recently acquired this 1971 CL175: Someone put CB exhaust on it at some point. Mostly complete aside from a missing horn and side covers. Most other bits missing in this photo I have but were not...

    I have a new-to-me 1971 cl175 that is missing the headlight lens. Searching online parts sites I see the headlight for my cl175 is part number 33120-307-671 and is not available anywhere besides cmsnl for $$$. The same year cb175 uses headlight part number 33120-292-673 and is widely available...

    I'm looking to replace the ~20year friction plates in the '72 CL175 K6 and I bought 5 Friction plates from Barnett. to replace the 5 Honda Friction plates I had. THe Barnett plates have a smaller Inner diameter which I think is good becuase that = more surface area in contact with the steel...
  15. Fuel Supply and Carburation
    Hello, I am reviving a 1971 CL175 that was not running and was COVERED with rust when I got it. It had been left out, uncovered, on the coast for 3 years. Once I resolved some of the electrical issues that were preventing it from starting, I was able to get it running. This gave me confidence to...
