Four Wheel Forum

This link will get you to some pics of the virtually finished bike. They were taken on a cloudy day so the paint is not as vibrant as it is in the sun. I will take some better shots of the paint and post soon.

Here is a set of pics on my finished (almost) bike. Still have a couple of things to sort out but I really appreciate the help everyone gave me on this forum. Can't wait to find another!

I ran into the same issue buying the c-10h's. They don't fit. My bike came with some D-9H's and that's what I bought to replace. I haven't started it yet but feel they are correct. PM me if you haven't bought any yet and I'll send you two of the D-9H's if you want. I have 8 left. That is 2 1/2 ...

Can't wait to see the updates. Welcome back....

Greetings everyone. I am getting down to the final assembly and am looking for an o-ring for the carb. I had to replace the original carb body with a slightly newer one and apparently the o-ring changed shapes. The original was round and the replacement has an oval shape. Does anyone know where I ...

I wanted to share a few pictures of the almost complete engine. I say almost because I am waiting on a few bits for the other side.

Hopefully will get it back in the frame soon and the rest is downhill (hopefully). Then I get to try to start up the 55 year old beast .

Spokes:
I happen to be at the point of putting my top end back together. I will be sure to go back and put the lube on the wrist pins as I did not do that when I assembled them. Any other suggestions or assembly notes for the barrel/head assembly?

Got a little further along with the reassembly over the last few weeks. Some of these parts are not fully installed but I needed a little motivation so i put the tank and seat up to see how they look :D ....

One part I'm having fits finding is the tank mounting bolt. I have 3 but there was one ...

Two forum members PM'd me a while back and I now have not been able to find the messages to respond.

One was a request for a copy of the 1960 Cycle magazine article reviewing the CA95.

The other was a request for info on the stencil that was made for my seat.
Please recontact me and I'll be glad ...

That seems like a pretty reasonable price for all those parts. I will contact them the next time i need some chrome done.

Got my head and cylinder back today. Anyone have any watch-outs for putting the top end back together? This is a first for me.
Thanks

I used Space Coast Plating in Melbourne, FL. They did a great job and just like you mentioned, they only do triple plate show level work. Chrome like that is crazy expensive and these bikes have a bunch of chrome parts. Add to that my original mufflers were just good enough to justify saving and so ...

That stuff looks great! Can't wait to see it on the bike.

Above I offered to send a copy of the 1960 Cycle article to anyone who needed it. Someone PM'd me and now I can't find the message to reply to. If you will try again, I'll send it to the email address you had in the message.

Thanks

My early lens is an amber color which I believe started out as red.
