1970 Honda Other

Clear

1970 Honda SL 175 Read below for the USC connection. Pretty much original 1970 Honda motorcycle. First year and fairly rare. Clear title. Faded paint, scratches, some rust, and patina on the chrome. This is NOT a restoration, but would be a great start. Frame and exhaust painting, but that is pretty much it. Used original Honda parts whenever I could find them. Exhaust seems to be in pretty good shape. Gas tank is clean. I will post exact mileage tomorrow. Little bit of tinkering may be left, but I really can't ride it around to check it out too much because of all the snow and ice. I have quite a few new parts on the bike as it was resurrected from several boxes. All the lights work and only thing missing is the front brake wire to make the brake light work with the front brake. Bike runs good, but the left fuel seat did stick closed once in awhile. I have the new part and either you install or I might have it installed before the auction is over depending on how busy I am this week. Doesn't stick all the time just once in awhile. The last few times I started her there were no problems, other than the idle is low. Tires have weather checking on sides, but appear original(?) and hold air just fine. Seat pan has been broken in half and repaired. I also added foam to the seat where it was crumbled. Definitely not a professional seat covering made more difficult by the fact that not all the metal prongs that hold the seat cover are still there. Some parts I put on the bike (new or used): exhaust pipe gaskets, kick starter rubber, found and original shifter, battery, repro mirrors, horn button switch, various nuts and bolts, clutch perch and lever, clutch cable (black), have a new grey throttle cable that goes with the bike, front brake stay, peg rubbers, fuel valve rebuild kit, plugs, rear fender stay, seat cover, and other stuff I forgot about. Why do I have USC in the title? My son is at the University of South California. You are bidding on an auction that will ultimately help out a USC student. He has been accepted for a study program in Japan this summer and selling this bike is one way I am helping him raise money to go. He is very proud to be a USC student and of being accepted into this unique overseas program of study. Bike is also for sale locally so it could be sold at any time. All shipping has to be arranged and paid by the winning bidder. I am open to buy-it-now offers before bidding starts. If you have any questions, please contact me.
