Hi all,
I'll use this as a project log for something I've had planned for a while. I have a 1976 CD175 here in the UK, for about 6 years now. It has a pretty nice patina, and has been mechanically rebuilt with new all new cables, tyres, brakes, bushings, etc. I just put new rear shocks on as well. (I should have documented that, but I bought some new shocks on Ebay from Thailand and swapped the blue covers to maintain said patina). The bike is a UK model with no electric start, and the kick shaft is worn out and it is very difficult to find a good replacement. The lights are WEAK and I would like a 12V upgrade with LEDs. It would also benefit from more power. And another gear. I would just drop in a CB200 engine, but I want to keep the single carb head. SO, let's just put a CD175 head on a CB200 engine.
Below is the bike.
