1967 Honda CB

B160 1072031

Clear

This little 160 was rescued from the original owner that purchased it in 1968 and parked it in his garage from 1983 until this summer. He did take off the exhaust and kept them stored in the house. They are vg/to excellent. No corrosion on the mufflers. The tank had significant rust and was replaced, carbs cleaned, lines replaced with filters, oil changed, new plugs, petcock seals. When finished the engine fired right up, didn't smoke and sounds great. I've ridden this bike a few miles and it shifts well, lights/horn/starter and function properly, new battery. I am having a bit of trouble getting it to idle smoothly, but will give it another try tomorrow. The pictures show the bike somewhat better than it is, I did "touch up" a number of areas that over the years grew surface corrosion and painted the tank and side covers (almost/ but doesn't exactly match the other original painted parts). The original owner has lost the paperwork and we've even had the local county research their archives to find their copies to no avail - thus - I can only provide a notarized bill of sale. There are some states where that is all required to properly license. The bike does ride nice at speed and with a little of "fiddling" will make a great piece.
