so im on to the wiring harness once again and finally figured it out with the help of ( e3steve, superchicken, and gunner http://www.honda305.com/forums/viewtopi ... sc&start=0 ) thanks for the help much appreciated. well on the journey of hooking up the wiring harness, shedding as many wires as possible, and re-covering everything in nice tubing i stumbled across a nice way to fish wires through new harness tubing. just solder either 2 to 3 wires together, make a hook with some steel wire and feed and pull through. on a single wire just make a loop, solder it, hook it, and pull through. hope this tip helps somewhere out there it made my life easier.

Lookin' really sweet, Deez! Love the reverse-cone megaphones -- sheer nostalgia; a pal had those on his '68 CD175 when I first started biking in '70. Always sounded lovely to my ears.

deez,
Where did you get the exhaust for this machine? I am just starting a restore and am in the planning stages. I would like to have my plan all laid out before I even start. Thanks for the info in advance.
