Very nice job on the bike. I just picked up two of them myself. I am working on the lights and then I will apply for Vermont registration also. I had the same bike when I was a teenager and have been wanting to get another.

Nice 175! Ive got the same one that I am working on. I am having trouble with the carb. I have been looking for a rebuild kit for it, but have not been successful. Any thoughts on where I could find one? I have spark and freshened everything up, looks identical to yours. Just need to get the carb sorted and I get to riding it.
