Ordered a Clymer manual last night from bikebandit.
I only have an "old school" set of vernier calipers without the dial. My eye sight isn't what it used to be but the skirt of the pistons measure at 1.968" or 50mm. By a little research, it seems that 50mm is standard size. I can't get an accurate reading on the cylinders.
There aren't any markings on the pistons except for the (NI) or (IN), depending which way you are looking at them, that I am assuming is the intake side. No arrows... nothing like STD for standard or 0.25 for 1st over etc. Would be nice to know the measurements. If standard is 1.968, 1st over should be very close to 2.218?
Probably will go to 1st over as I am planning on making this my daily rider to work and back in town. Want to build this a little more custom like this blue one that one of the other members did. Can't remember his name but he did an outstanding job on it.
The white one is the 1966 CA160 I have. Does anyone know which year those handlebars came stock on? I know they didn't use them in '66.
