1967 ca160
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!

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!
