I seem to be working my way up the classic Honda tree by way of CC size. I don't even have the 1965 ca95 done and bought a 1967 ca160 in mostly complete, running and original condition! After some TLC it's now my most ridden classic!
This is how it looked when I got it, before I put the correct handle bars and mirrors on.

Honda ca95
This is the one that started my thang with the Honda "Dream" styled bikes. More pics soon.
I completely disassembled this bike and cleaned the frame and bodywork. The patina was spectacular so I clear coated all the painted surfaces. Then I sent the cylinders out and had them honed and new pistons fitted.
I reassembled the motor with new transmission bearings, 2 new gears, new shifter forks, new drum stopper and new seals and gaskets. I did not bead blast the motor exterior, still loving that patina. I did clear coat the side covers. Am I being a bit obsessive with the patina?
It's getting closer to completion!
