Bob that bike is sweetness......love that fresh white paint. White looks so nice on these old Hondas. I have CA160 also undergoing restoration. Mines not nearly as finished as yours. This site has some really great guys here, two of them are Smithers and Spokes. The bad thing about them is they live ...

Hey does anyone know the trick to winding a kick start spring on a 160? Or have ever done it? I seem to be set up properly but cant get the spring where it needs to be. ???

Smithers,
I cant buy your bike but it sure would be a great time to take it to the Isle of Man in June. Bet you would find a buyer there.

Anyone have any experance with making a copper head gasket? I have looked around and I dont think its to hard. Any input?

Hey check this out! This bike is all original and no miles.

Yes it is very nice. Spokes it should have went for $2500+, thats my opinion. Such great attention to detail and not a thing missed.
Whats the next bike?

Spokes that is looking good ! You do some great work.

I would never call that insane! The bike is looking really nice Chip. I wish you were closer so I could stop by and help out. Maybe get a ride when its driveable, LOL.

Smithers, Robbie is the Man !! I just wonder " WHAT IF " if Evil had todays bikes? Evil had balls the size of grapefruit but didnt have a bike with any suspension, so even if he wanted to do the jump he couldnt land.
Could Robbie do the Snake River jump?

WTH ?? What does that have to do with an old Honda? Who is that guy?

Motorcycle owners all get the push it home fun from time to time. A friend of mine did a old Harley resto and got the oil lines mixed. He had to push it home up hill and on dirt. Ouch! Old Hondas are much lighter.

Yes that is a sweet package. The LED lighting should be easy on the old electric system, very low load from LEDs. Spokes do you know where the seat on that bike came from?

Hey can I get in on that paint work? Start in November and work on it for ???
Your paint work looks great Spokes. Do you paint outside or put together a spray booth? I paint outside, todays paint drys fast.

What the tail lamp blub did sounds like when I put a 12v lamp in a 6v system.
The blub lights good then you see smoke!

Here is a nice site that I found,
