Default Honda CA95 - Ressurection

Hey Smithers! Picked up a cute non-runner myself. Thought it would make a good project for my wife to get involved in my refurbishing motorcycles hobby. Working through the same issues you are (petcock, carb, etc.) and have a question for you...Can you send me pictures of how your center stand spring attaches to the undercarriage and maybe give me the dimensions of that spring? Mine never had it & I'm looking to get one.

No problem. I'll get back to you soon.

Very nice bike you found there. Seems like you have a complete example to work with. Excellent. Does your wife have a sister? You're an extremely lucky man!

Alrighty I've been out riding motorcycles all weekend but I managed to snap this pic today. I think you'll find out exactly why your having problems messing around with the sidestand spring. I forgot to get the measurement for you though... I'll have to take it off for that.

Of course this is the parts bike.

If it doesn't work out for you lemme know and you can have my extra rusty spring and rusty C shaped part for a small donation. I don't think I'll be trying to restore this parts bike I got! If you sandblasted and spray painted them they would look just fine and be very functional.

Cool, you got it made. Can't beat that price with a rusty chain!
