Cafe Racer Look for CB175

[Guest bigfoot]

Hi all,

 

I am a newbie for riding and purchased a CB175 from a budding forumer here.

 

Looking at the some photos of the bike on the internet, I am thinking of buying the rear fender seat portion to make it look like a Cafe Racer.

 

Anyone knows where to get these parts from?

 

Much appreciate any advices.

 

Thanks.

this is a CB175KO model.. only 2 in singapore.. i mean i saw it with my own eye till now is TWO..

 

1st.. get hold of the handle bar... shouldnt b a problem to find oversea.. just have to measure the diameter of yr current handlebar.. n order from the net...

 

2nd... find n find from the net or customize the seat.

 

3rd.. convert yr headlamps to CB160 with the meter attach to the headlamps.. also ave to buy from the net.. not a easy task.. bt can be done ..

 

all the best n hope u can achieve at least 80% of this pix.. cheers m8

Cool bike! But I think it may be a CB160 with a 175 emblem.

Thats a CB175K0, not CB160...both look identical except tank's emblem diff in size, speedo meter slight diff ,cb160 come with bigger rear drum brake which is pull by cable instead of a rod...and off cause the engine slight diff too. I used to own the CB175K0 before, sold it abt 8 yrs ago. Nice bike,very rare ...should ve at least 3 in sg.

No, it's in Canada. It is now finished. I've tried to upload some pictures but have been unsuccessful, seems larger photos are not supported.
