Hi,
Thought I would finally get round to doing a project thread of my build. I decided to build a cd175 after going to a custom bike show and falling in love with the cafe racer style and my dad seeing a couple of cd175's and reminiscing about how light and fun they were to ride compared to modern heavy bikes.
After the show I went home and had a look on eBay and as luck would have it there was a cd175 ending in the next few days less than 5 miles from my house a few bids later and it was mine.
This is how I bought the bike
It was running and fully road legal although vey rough and rusty around the edges.
I began the strip down
I will update this thread as soon as I get chance but the bike is now a fully ridable great fun bike.
