1965 Honda CB160 Restoration and First Startup!

This was one of my most satisfying restorations because it was in such bad shape when I got it. Nothing a little elbow grease, a few new parts and some paint couldn't fix!

My first bike was a CB160. I still think it's one of the best engines Honda ever designed. Absolutely bullet proof, and it was faster than my CL72.

Thank you for giving me courage to tackle a project similar to what you have done. Very nice!

Thanks Danny. The restoration was done back in '07 but I only recently posted it. I'd be interested in following your resto!

how do you install the chrome panels on the tank? thinking about buying it separately

[@CBCycles]

The tank has a few small brackets that the end of the panel slips over, then it is fastened with a screw at the other end
