Re: Picked up a little vintage honda
Thanks Guys, I love it. Took it for a little ride today. Smooth shifting...runs really nice. I maybe should have kept all the assessories on it, but I thought it looked like too much. The crash bar is cool...I may put that back on there, its in pefect shape with really nice chrome. Maybe it helped keep the tank and everything in great shape. The inside of the tank looks new, not a speck of rust or discoloration at all....looks like my kitchen utensils. Hell I may put the windshield back on it too...nah...I like the wind thru the hair I have left. LOL
Re: Picked up a little vintage honda
Windshields on small displacement bikes don't always work real well. I have one for my Dream but the drag makes it more difficult to attain cruising speeds.
I like a rear rack. I carry a couple bungies with me and I've often times found myself strapping things down to take home.

Beautiful little Honda you got, looks super clean and minty! I bought a 71 CB350 for a restoration project with my son, love these old twins.

I see a CAFE project... perfect bike for it.

Re: Picked up a little vintage honda
Nice 350 there. Looks great...not much to restore it seems!
Yep, would be a nice cafe project, but can't stand it in my heart to tear into it...though just bars and maybe a new muffler...to make it sound meaner. I'm gonna put the crash bar on it next year. I just cannot get it in and out of the basement door with it on. Not putting the shield back on...like you say perry, just to much drag.
Here is a pic of the 45 I sold recently. Nearly flawless. Honestly I like this little CB more. Its a lot lighter...I have no problems putting it up on its center stand. I can run thru the gears on the 200 real quick...I like the tranny better...just smoother shifting.
Re: Picked up a little vintage honda
I went and checked the build date of the 200T and it is a K1, in candy gold, not parakeet yellow Build date of 3/75 oops.. I must have been thinking of my DT175 yamaha or something else. :(

I was raised a Hawkeye fan by my Dad's influence, even though I've lived my whole life in Wisconsin. My Dad was born and raised in Iowa and is the biggest Hawkeye fan EVER. My parents still go to a few Hawk football games a year.
Re: Picked up a little vintage honda
Hey Kurt, I remember you mentioning your fathers passion before :) Where in Iowa was he from? Yeah, we may not be very good this year, but win or loose, I'm a die hard fan...will always be. I've been all over the country and lived in several other states...this is where my heart is. :)
