Amazing bike, amazing work. Most people would have left that bike for dead but you and your imagination saw a diamond in the rough. Be sure to let your wife know that her work on the seat really makes the bike.

After all that work, I would have a hard time letting it go. Someone is going to be very happy with it. It would make a great raffle item at a VFW or something like that.

In the future, I would love you to create a thread, in baby steps, how you set up the directionals and where you get the parts for them. They really look slick.

Awesome video Spokes. After watching it I just had to take mine out for a spin. These bikes are so much fun. While I was buzzing around, I kept thinking about how much fun and lucky someone is going to be with that bike.

Thank You Chip

I finished the Scrambler I agreed to refurb in trade for the SuperHawk. I won't make that mistake again! Here are some videos.

Are you sure wasn't caused by loose "Spokes"? (Smirk) or maybe caused by a small WW2 land mine?

Great photo by the way. Man that bike looks slick.

Whomever purchased your bike sure got a good deal on a cool, unique, and well-sorted CA95.

"...twisted creative thinking mode..." LOL.
Say, are you planning to document your upcoming '67 CA160 build here? I for one vote to go ahead and do it - of course only if you want to. It really is the next generation kissing cousin to the CA95 and shares many similarities. I guess one could say the also 4-spd '68 (only and last year of the sloper motor) CD175 is also the following generation to the CA160 and another close relative of the CA95 - again so similar we could almost bend the (not a CA95) rule if nobody objected. My 2 cents.
