Hello all!
Well, the 1966 Honda whatever it was, was pulled from the offering table and a cash payment was made instead. So I never got to see it. I have another friend that I'm going to do a brake job on his jeep. Fronts and rears, rotors, drums wheel cylinders the whole nine yards. Now while all I asked for in return was pizza and beer (arrrgh beer) once he saw my 350 he insisted that I take a 78' CT185 off his hands in lieu of the pizza... he claims he's seen me eat pizza... OK so maybe I can put away a large you pick the pizza... We are talking pizza here, but I digest...er digress.
So Saturday I should have the above mentioned bike. (Chanting rising in the background) Oh mighty and all knowing forum experienced ones... what / where should this lowly disciple look for trouble spots? I've heard rumors that they were 6 volt systems? (Chanting suddenly stops all Monty Python-esque) Was this even possible in 1978? I plan to restore the bike for my wife to ride. After she takes her abate class in the spring. Is this style of bike a good beginner for a very petite female, (5'3"115) The price is right and it has a title so I'm rebuilding it regardless.
So please wax poetic on it's virtues or banes.
Respectfully,
