Another vintage Honda in the garage

Well, it happened again. Got the bug for a bike and had to track it down. This time it’s another 60′s Honda to keep the ‘lil 55 company.  I found this great 1969 CD175 K3 that’s in need of some love.  It’s been sitting since ’93 so it will take some work to get it running, but I’m up for it.  It came with a shotgun rack.

The battery is hosed, the tank has rust and the carb is full of varnish so those are the first steps. I’ll have to replace the air filter, tubes & tires and check the brakes, replace the fork seals & oil, etc.  The motor kicks through smoothly, so that’s great.  It’s going to be a lot of fun!
