Honda CL description
This is a solid very low mileage 1966 honda CL160 in excellent condition considering it's age. Has clean IL. title. 1966 and maybe 1967 were the only true CL 160's made. They came from factory with skid plate and no blinkers or electric starter. After that the CB 160's were converted to CL's with a kit by the dealer. It was sitting in my friends basement for the last 20 years and he wanted to sell it for $500. I took it and tore it apart completely except for the bottom end (which appears as new and no slop). The frame, swing arm, chain guard, triple clamps etc were sandblasted and then painted black followed by clear coat. The brakes were cleaned and appear near new. Wheel bearings and seals were replaced. Forks were disassembled, cleaned, and new seals and oil put in. New battery, tubes and tires. Fuel tank was sealed with red tank sealer inside and the outside sanded and painted Honda silver with several coats and clear coats. Side covers and fenders painted same way. Engine would not turn due to piston rings being glued (dried fuel like old varnish) to the cylinders. When I got the pistons out they appeared to have very little wear (I have them for inspection) and were well within specs. The rings were glued into the piston grooves and could not be removed without damaging pistons a bit. So I replaced the pistons and rings with standard size OEM parts, which were also well within specs in the freshly honed cylinders. The bike started 1st kick and runs quiet and smooth. Compression is 130 psi on both sides. Head and tail/brake lights work as should. Speedometer/odometer works and reads about 6500 miles. This is not a show bike, but a strong, very decent looking daily runner bike. Should get around 100mpg and be reliable. It is a very cool looking alternative to a scooter or other newer small bike. There is no need for electric starter as it can be kick started by a child. All parts are correct for this bike except for air filters, which are after market buds, not the OEM paper monsters that cost a few hundred dollars. I have over $1000 in parts plus many hours of loving work into this bike. I have 13 modern bikes and do all my own work. When they are all maintained I get the itch to fix up another. This is a hobby for me and I do not plan to make any profits. I am hoping to get $1500-2000 out of this bike to pay my friend the $500 plus the money I put into it. Good luck bidding.
