That's feasible. Do you have a head / cam with tachometer drive?

hi,i have loads of questions so please bare with me,when renovating a frame is it better to spray or powder coat,can a cb72 right hand cover be converted to rear kick action as these are easier to buy,any one know who supplies headlight rims or alternatives,more questions later,regards john.

CL crank is 180

Powder coating is easier but I like to do my own spraying.

You can use the CL cover but have to work out clearance with the footrest.

Check out David Silver spares or CMS in holland for parts. Or eBay.

Hello blackhallr

I need confirmation on this but I think you need to use the CB crank, well at least the r/h web/shaft as this has the oil hole for the starter clutch lubrication ?
How much of the kickstart assy. do you have as I may have some parts for the CB one.
