Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. \u00a0I’m spending Father’s Day sick, with a sore throat and lots of congestion. \u00a0So, I’m not getting as much accomplished this weekend as I had planned. \u00a0Still, I did manage to make a little progress on the Honda CB175 project bike.<\/p>\n

The engine is back in the frame. \u00a0That will make it a bit easier to do the rest of the engine work. \u00a0The engine side covers have been repainted with an aluminum engine paint, with a high-temp clear coat to give a bit of shine. \u00a0The side covers will be put back on after I swap out the fiber clutch plates and clean the oil screen next weekend.<\/p>\n

The front forks have also been put back together with new seals and fork oil.<\/p>\n

I still have quite a bit of work to do, but I’m off work during the first 2 weeks of July, so hopefully I’ll make significant progress during that time.<\/p>\n
