Hi everyone -
Just posting to get opinions about one of the upgrades sometimes made for CB160 race bikes; namely, changing to CB200 forks. Would like to hear thoughts on whether there is a distinct difference in these forks (springs or other components) that warrant such an upgrade. Thanks!

Thanks G-man. I should have mentioned that this would be to build up a racing motor. I am just considering "simple" alterations that may improve things a bit without spending big bucks on more sophisticated go-fast modifications. To be clear, which gears are spring loaded? The small ones on the cran...

Hey everyone - A gentleman who races CB160s mentioned that one modification that can 'easily" be performed is to remove one of the large staggered gears from the rear of the clutch basket. Disassembly of the oil pump/clutch basket necessitates slipping off the first corresponding small staggered gea...
