Title: Hello f*ckers, I'm f*cking around with a little f*cker. CB175 Build. Post by: Stinky Wizzleteats on May 04, 2012, 02:16:29 AM Hellooo ladie and germs, long time, no pulling my tool. I haven't been pulling my tool (well maybe sometimes when I'm all alone), but I have been pulling my hair out having no bike. Well. I've decided to start tearing into my 1971 HONDA CB175!!! I finally bought it home from work and looking to see what I can do to this piece of motorcycling history and turn it into a F*CKING work of F*CKING ART!
It's a real horsepower machine, at least 15 REAL ponies, all pulling at the same time. And in a package that would weigh about 47 grams ringing wet. So my fat arse would really bog it down. Here she is coming home: (http://i947.photobucket.com/albums/ad320/Super_TIB/IMG_0406.jpg) I still have a Ducati sticker. :D Anyway, I have started to tear her down, tank, seat, wiring harness, engine, wheels and the like. This is how she was like when she got home. (http://i947.photobucket.com/albums/ad320/Super_TIB/CB175002.jpg) And how she looks after a little tinkering: (http://i947.photobucket.com/albums/ad320/Super_TIB/SAM_0004.jpg) (http://i947.photobucket.com/albums/ad320/Super_TIB/SAM_0001.jpg) (http://i947.photobucket.com/albums/ad320/Super_TIB/SAM_0014.jpg) Whoever in Japan decided it was a good idea to use philips head screws on an engine casing needs to be shot up the arse >:( Anyway, they will be replaced with allen head cap screws so the next unfortunate bastard doesn't need to have an impact screwdriver. Forks, swingarm have now been removed and the forks aren't pretty, a little rust which will need a little work . Long story short, she will be turned into something. Clip ons, new rear sets, a new seat, removing starter motor so it will only be a kicker. Paint, blast, powder coat (not in that exact order), re-routing all the electrics, indicators, shorter cables. Not sure about exhaust yet, still thinking. And also colour, still haven't decided. Have got and ordered gasket set, levers and 1.0 oversize rings. Will be giving her a top end rebuild, haven't pulled at the engine as yet, just the top cover and it looks pretty clean. I'm sure I have missed something, the motor will be getting a blast as well after I have rebuilt it and casings will be getting a polish as well as forks and maybe the top triple. Wheels will probably get sent away for a re-lacing and truing up. Keeping it a drum brake set up, they are more that it needs. It's 15 horsepower for f*cks sake! How she sits now: (http://i947.photobucket.com/albums/ad320/Super_TIB/SAM_0011.jpg) (http://i947.photobucket.com/albums/ad320/Super_TIB/SAM_0010.jpg) Wish me luck in my journey, any constructive criticism or helpful hints would be appreciated. More updates when I can work on it, after I have finished tiling, laying floorboards or building fuc*ing retaining walls. [Dolph] Title: Re: Hello f*ckers, I'm f*cking around with a little f*cker.

Title: Re: Hello f*ckers, I'm f*cking around with a little f*cker. CB175 Build. Post by: mattyvas on May 04, 2012, 02:44:58 AM That's a great looking project.
I do wish you luck with it, I'm sure it will come together well. Once it gets back on the road you'll have to come out for a ride. We'll just give you a day or two's head start.

Title: Re: Hello f*ckers, I'm f*cking around with a little f*cker. CB175 Build. Post by: Betty on May 04, 2012, 11:37:24 AM Hey Stinky ... make sure you hold onto that front number plate mount (assuming that's what it is) you'll probably need it someday.
Title: Re: Hello f*ckers, I'm f*cking around with a little f*cker. CB175 Build. Post by: Stinky Wizzleteats on May 04, 2012, 05:51:13 PM Whoa! That was written last night after having a few. [drink]
Betty, that was the first thing coming off, will be shortening that front guard. Front rego plates aren't back on the agenda are they? [roll] Just about to head back into the garage to move a few things around so I can have a bench to work on the huge motor. Going to take a grinder to the old front peg mounts, they are coming off, removing the triples for a clean up. Going to try and make my own cafe seat or maybe buy one if it all works out too hard. Need to strip, repair and paint the tank. Needs new rear shocks and headlight brackets. Also turning my bench grinder into a polisher on one side with a wire wheel on the other. Got a list in my head of what needs to be done, so I won't bore everyone with it. I may already have though. Gimme some ideas on colour. Was thinking black frame, black tank with orange stripes. Still umming and ahhing. Or red/black combo, but I think that's been done too many times. We'll see. Thanks for all the good wishes fellas, I banned myself from this place as it was depressing me. Hope you are all well and not getting yourselves into too much trouble. ;D Title: Re: Hello f*ckers, I'm f*cking around with a little f*cker. CB175 Build.

CB175 Build. Post by: mattyvas on May 05, 2012, 03:34:47 AM This would be a great place for some inspiration, I have seen a few of their bikes around lately. There was a few of them out at the Autisum ride the other weekend.
For my money a cafe bike is not an understated affair, it is a look at me machine. Good to know you have a bike again, looking forward to seeing its progress. Matty...

Title: Re: Hello f*ckers, I'm f*cking around with a little f*cker. CB175 Build. Post by: rendang on July 03, 2012, 11:02:55 PM Yes, it looked really good, a well done job. Title: Re: Hello f*ckers, I'm f*cking around with a little f*cker. CB175 Build. Post by: mattyvas on July 04, 2012, 02:42:05 AM It looks like a bike from Merrick Watts little bike company.
He and a mate build "cool" postie's with a bit of a Deus price tag attached! Title: Re: Hello f*ckers, I'm f*cking around with a little f*cker. CB175 Build. Post by: Stinky Wizzleteats on September 06, 2012, 10:25:48 PM Woops, sorry not much progress to speak of.
Have pretty much got bike bits everywhere, cut and ground down foot peg mounts and in the progress of removing rear fender which is spot welded to the frame. People have said if you remove that bit it will throw shit into the carbs, but it's too big and ugly and I will make something up that will be a little less obtrusive. Engine is at work at the moment, had to water blast all the crap that had caked itself to it, was going to get it abrasive blasted after that but was concerned that the shot they use would be a little too "abrasive" on the aluminium. So am going to make up a little soda blaster to do it instead. Just need an air duster, hose and some Sodium Bicarb. And will use that on all the other alloy bits on teh bike. Heard it works a treat. On a tight budget at the moment, wifey and I are going to Samoa at the end of the month so want to save a little money for that. And thinking of selling some shares to buy myself a 900. [evil] AND, just for shits and giggles, I am doing a weekend test ride of a Victory Judge in October. Not gonna buy one, just taking advantage of it.

Are you related to Teff ? :D AND, just for shits and giggles, I am doing a weekend test ride of a Victory Judge in October. Not gonna buy one, just taking advantage of it. [Dolph] I wouldn't admit that to any one. :-X Title: Re: Hello f*ckers, I'm f*cking around with a little f*cker. CB175 Build. Post by: Stinky Wizzleteats on September 07, 2012, 04:15:59 AM Free "bike" for a weekend with fuel and accommodation thrown in when I haven't been on a bike for 2 years, I wouldn't care if it's a fecken Hyosung.
Nah, scratch that, I wouldn't ride a Hyosung. |
