My 1963 CA95 is finally roadworthy !
 

All original paint with no rust (including minor scratches on fenders), original seat (you can see the logo below, somewhat faded), engine as mentioned in an earlier thread, is just a few digits from the frame number), original pipes...gotta say absolutely perfect, no dents or rust, no smoke and everything works perfectly, no drips, no slipping clutch, etc., due to 200-300 hours of mechanical prepardness from 40 + years of temp controlled storage AND MANY HOURS ON THIS FORUM! A very special thanks to Spokes who gave me tremendous technical support many times via phone late at night when I took 3 steps forward and 2 steps back. My many, many thanks.

I enjoy riding this great bike as much a sweating getting it ready! More pictures in the future. My Texas Antique motorcycle license plates are in place and presently contemplating white walls.

Very nicely done! :)

Nice job ! Looks better than any 49 year old I know !!!!

I'm jealous - Spokes has never held my hand, but we have gone to the movies a few times..

Beautiful bike, and very nice work.

ByTheLake: I will change my statement to "Gave me tremendous technical support"......is that better? Whew!

A very nice looking bike- sure wish mine was in as good shape to start with!
Mine sat neglected and screwed around with at times. So much work to revive this bike. Everything, and I mean everything, has to be cleaned, degreased, derusted and reassembled. I was afraid to take the engine apart, but will now because there are truly nice knowledgeable members here who help selflessly.
I revived an old Jawa years ago before the internet with help from a Jawa Club, The NorthAmerican Jawa Register. Of course being a two stroke made things easier, plus it's a real simple piece of Communist factory abilities. You should see the welds on the frame! The Honda is well made, but very involved, witness the overhead cam, fuel petcock and other part counts...

Exelent job there Tex, wishing you many trouble free miles of enjoyment.:cool:

Sam.:)

That is beautiful! Fantastic job.

Thanks folks, I truly appreciate the accolades...but credit is where credit is due.

As mentioned in the beginning of this thread, my CA95 was in incredibly great original shape after a very long careful storage. My job was mostly prep....which is to the credit of this forum; a truly incredible storage of top quality experience and unselfish folks...who believe the Baby Dream is really a work of art and well worth the time and expense to create a restoration and help others do the same.

Just look at the names with the large number of posts.... helping solve problems for folks they have never met and most likely never will. Bottom line, without this forum I would never have created this end result. Like RANCHMAN, those before him, and others who will follow...credit is where credit is due. What else can be said?

Done.

That is an absolutely beautiful bike. Congrats on getting it roadworthy!
