Well, Gary Glitter, the 1970 CB175 cafe racer, is gone. Dude came by, checked it out, and agreed to the price with no haggling, hemming or hawing. Maye I should have charged more? Bike was a blast to ride around, title was easy to procure with an abandoned vehicle application, and the two months of occasional work I did on it was fun. Some of the parts I used were laying around: cables, CB160 speedo and headlight bucket, tach for the CB350 project, material for the glitter seat. Thing ran strong and fast with only 4K original miles. But Gary had to go, as we need a down payment on a car for Meg in MA. Goodbye Gary Glitter, you dirty bird of a pervert.
Wound up lowering the tach mount, and putting it next to speedo.
Extensions for air filters seemed to do the trick just right.
