1978 Honda xl 175

xl1754203372

This 1978 HONDA 175 Enduro i have had for almost twenty years. I used it to ride the trails and fields with my boys when they were learning to ride their little 80s many years ago. The boys are now grown and moved on. The mileage,i believe to be correct. It had 15xx when i got it. It has been stone reliable,gets great gas mileage and has never refused to start. The original air filter and carburetor boot are in the garage...somewhere! I took it out to replace it after the last ride and it may take some time to find,but will be included when found. The pipe between the muffler and the spark arrestor was rusted through when i got it,so it too is off from the machine. The tires are usable,have decent tread and hold air forever,but there is some rust pitting on the rims. The tank has one large scratch on the left side and a few fine scratches on the top,but there is no rust inside. I change the oil regularly and use castrol. The levers and cables are all in super condition. The throttle snaps back just like new. It starts quickly and idles fine all by itself. Chain and sprockets are also hardly used,as the miles will attest. The original pair of chrome Honda mirrors (not in the pics) are in perfect shape and will be included. Owners booklet,toolkit and clear title as well. On Mar-10-11 at 13:04:24 PST, seller added the following information: Update:The air filter frame has been found,the boot is still missing. You should consider this as an "as is" sale. When i find the remaining pieces,i will ship them to the new owner at my expense,but they probably won't be included currently. I am sorry for any inconvenience. The lights-turnsignals and brake light,i believe,are not working because there is no battery at this time. They were removed when i first got the bike so that they didn't get damaged in the trails and are in remarkable condition! Upon closer inspection of the gas tank,i found two small BB sized dings,one near the front RT.and one near the top rear.The headlight came on,but only the high beam. Please ask if you have any concerns,i will be glad to help. Thank you.
