I'm looking for CB175 parts

[Muntedmother]

Hey y'all! I'm back after 20yrs of tincanning it, yes the wife finally gave in, perserverance wins! Now too old and broken to race me RZ, so picked up a rusty CB175 to rebuild and go in whatever puttputt race i'm allowed to. Question is : Anybody got any parts for sale? Looking for the basics, frame, pistons, rings etc. The frame i have appears to be bent. Any links/direction for the aforementioned bits will get you on me list of fresh snapper to give to ( I fish approx.80 days of the summer and whenever fine in the winter, Cheers Craig.A:scooter:

Try Econohonda in Te Aroha or Buckets and Bits in Wgtn.
I would imagine most parts are similar to the CB200, CD 175, CL 175 etc , especially in motor parts. Cosmetic will be the real diff but it depends if you want a perfect bike or not.

Fug me! A CB 175 honda. Shit i used to fly all over the place on my mates one when i was about 15. Was an awesome damn bike. Sounded great too..

Yeah, my first bike (back in '73) was a CB175. First bike I wrote off too, on Christmas Day 1975...:facepalm:

Seriously, best of luck finding anything for them in NZ.

I've got two CB200's, everything you need you will find on ebay, and usually at very fair prices ($10 for a cam chain...). A lot of NOS parts out of Thailand, and remanufactured bits too.

um, just picking up on the race bit. erm a CB175 will likely get run over in post classics.

Resto is a neat thing, but I'd look at making a roadbike.


If you want to race something a bit slower that full ccts then look in the Buckets section. Cheapo racing on kart tracks. Pick up an FXR150 wreck & off you go for less than a grand. & less expensive to race at Mt wgtn than anywhere else.

Or move to the US! They have a dedicated CB160 class ala buckets here, I think they allow other small CB twins in too.

There have been and are Cb and CD 175's in tardme at times, saw at least 3 there a short while ago. Great wee bike, I'm also one who has fond memories of what I consider the best learner bike made.
