My bikes

Hey everybody,
Just bought a black 66 CA95 on Ebay a couple of weeks ago. Pretty rusty but hey. I got a red 64 last year from my dad, in much better shape rust wise but missing engine and pipes. I also have an 83 Honda Nighthawk.

Hello Vintagehonda. So, what are the plans for the bikes? Will both be fixed up, or will one be a donor for the other?

Not sure yet. I would like to restore both bikes. I have to pull the engine on the 66 and see if it would be worth it.

Welcome VH- Looks like you have two worthy candidates there. Should be lots of fun and you have a great start.

Tearing them down is my favorite part.

As long as the cylinders aren't rusty the engines are usually not too hard to get going again.

Saw an ad on Craigslist for a CA95 frame and some spare parts for $150 about 20 miles away. Contacted the seller this morning and went out in a snowstorm to look at it. The CA95 ended up being a CA77 rolling frame which I passed on. He did have a seat, front forks with speedometer, gasket sets, shocks, tail light lens, and tank side covers that I bought for $75. I needed a better speedo and a seat for my 66 as the original seat disintegrated in my hands!

He was a cool guy and he had tons of bikes. He had a black bike that looks like I hope mine looks like someday. He said he races bikes and was about to head down to Georgia.

This was red last summer after I pulled her out of my dad's shed, where she had sat for 40 years. Still has the license plate from 1972!
