My recently restored CA95 is a real cruiser......it cruises around the neighborhood and gets waves from all the walking folks.......top end? I would say that will remain an unknown fact. I put way to many hours in restoration to worry about how fast it can go......just like to ride it and watch the ...

Erik S: We had discussed the difficulty of installing 3.25 x 16 tires. The 3.00 x 16as you mentioned, are not a problem to install. If it takes you several months to complete your CA95 restoration.......that is much better than my 1-1/2 years. Keep at it! Progress Pics?

What I like about this group, is that the majority of folks like to keep the Benly as original as the age will allow. It is hard and expensive to go the original route, but IMO, it is well justified.

Rubber covers for clutch and brake adjusters

These slip over the knurled adjusters at cable end at handlebar.....were they available for the Benlys? If so, where available? I had one only over the clutch lever adjuster on my '63, but was split open and useless.

I also have a Honda CM200 1980 with the covers in great condition. Went to the ...

I guess you can look at the positive side, if there is one; steverinomeiste stated the seller must have broken the bike down to 54 parts........maybe, in a strange way, there will be up to 54 CA95 restorations that will benefit from one sacrificed low mileage CA95 part ?

edcphoto: 3M contact adhesive, aerosol. Messy stuff, but works well and heat from lamp has no effect. Pretty common in older non-sealed beams when the original silver ebbs away. not a proper resto, but a quick remedy and no one sees it but you....but still knaws at your guilt for not doing it ...
