Fork Fix.

Got some help from Z.

Finally got the chrome fork seal holder covers off...

Here is what is left.

I am not sure which is newer or better or whatever.

2 with brass bushing<>2 with steel?

 I had read that it was hard to find the right cb160 fork seals...

I ordered what I could get and of course they were the smaller OD easier to find kind.

No matter,  just modify the metal shell of the old one to fit......

Time to turn.

 Not perfect but it should work.

 Be safe out there.

To. Do. Dreamin'.

Long list.

I love this bike.

Modeselektor. Rapanthem.

CB160 woes.

 Lucky to have options?

They all need rebuilt.

The chromed up shroud is the most annoying thing in the world to take off....

Moyou agrees.

 To do.

Dream.

 Clean up the wiring.

New rectifier.

Sitter cover.

 New veins in the controls.

Bar-bender fixer-upper.

I don't think the clutch returns as youthfully as I feel when I ride old beans.

I am going to put in a new or stiffer spring in the clutch mechanism and see if that helps.

I need a classier exhaust, also.

Ariel colt / XL350 hybrid = The pony

Trust and believe.

I got the Ariel colt frame with the XL350 engine in it back from Ardcore.

Rebuilt the Ariel forks with bits I got from Draganfly.

Forks all done. 

Jackshaft.

Cleared out this Honda C110 that I built for Christina last season and moved my 1965 Honda 150 Benly in its place.  Chinese 90cc semiautomatic piranha engine in it.
