1973 HONDA CB175 RESTORATION

I spent a couple hours putting a short video together of the 2-year journey this 1973 HONDA CB175 motorcycle took since it's been in my possession (2014).  I included some information in the video about parts that I used/where I bought them and the motorcycle shops I gave business to. I've gotten a lot of questions pertaining to those things with some of my previous motorcycle build videos, so I figured I would just include it right out of the gate.  Watch till the end to see what the bike in this picture used to look like!

LONG TIME. NO POST.

It has been nearly 2 YEARS since I last posted on the blog and I don't even know where the time has gone.  Although my motorcycle shenanigans haven't made it to the blog, I've still been as busy as ever bringing vintage bikes back from the dead. Most of my projects have only made it to Instagram @murphysmotorbikes, but I will do my best to catch ya'll up in the months ahead. The other day I was inspired to get back on and post thanks to a friendly email from a fellow bike builder in Toronto who reached out about one of my projects.  Even if I've helped 1 person in all of the stuff I've posted, than I've accomplished something. And it's been worth it.

With that being said, here are the items I will be covering in the coming weeks:

The Complete Restoration of the 1973 HONDA CB175 SuperSport 

The 1975 HONDA CB360 Heart Transplant

The 1971 HONDA CB175 Race Bike Beginnings

& The Two-Stroke Extravaganza 2016 at Hansen Dam

There is some good stuff on the way so check back or subscribe!
