Hi, I've had these bikes for about 10 years. Got them both fixed up pretty good. The CB160D was a barn find with 2800 miles on the functioning odometer. One cylinder was scored and smoked pretty bad. Also, when I got the heads apart I found a cam lobe scored. Found a used cam locally and bought new pistons/rings and had the valves cleaned up. After burning all the deposited oil out of the muffler, no smoke. The CL77 was a basket case that I resrected from 3 boxes of engine parts. Two crankases with busted main bosses and one good.I had a local expert rebuild the engine and did the rest my self. AI lived in a CO mountain town (9300ft) for 3 years and rode them both all through those mountains. They did't do too good above timberline but hey I kind of expected that. Anyway, I decided with the price of gas what it is and all the recent riding time I have. I'm getting the 160 back out on the city streets with new tires, seat, removed the bulky bash plate and I pretty sure I'm going to get a set of low pipes. Keeping the dealer kit stuff so I can convert if I want later. Here are some pictures, sorry they're kind of fuzzy because of the old camera.

I sure wish I could find someone to rebuild my shocks for me. I really would like to keep them. I'm also looking for down pipes that I can have shorty mufflers welded on to.

I found some pictures of the bikes when I first got them...1998? I also started to rebuild a C200 and CA150. The CA was deemed too far gone and I gave it to my brother. Gave the 90 to one of his friends. I wish I had that 90 now. I had to replace the tank and seat of the 305 because the bondo was bad on the non seamed (incorrect for 67) tank and the seat had the forked seat mounts.

these are some neat bikes. those 90's are indeed fun, a shame, but you should be able to find a cheap on on ebay or craigslist, if you tried. Some neat bikes in colorado a couple months back that i just happened to glaze over.
