I guess the easiest thing would be getting one for a honda (NH, or newer GL)
and then try to adapt it. So, if anyway one around here has an spare one,

Should be pretty easy. I think most oem sensors are just hall switches. Hall

First time I rode a newer bike and put the kickstand down it died. Freaked
me out. Figured I'd magically killed my buddy's brand new bike. I don't see
why they can't just put a warning light on the dash rather than kill the
motor.

morning on my GL1200. Got to the security gate and remembered that my badge
was in my tail bag. I shifted to neutral, jumped out of the bike, grabbed
the badge, showed it to the guard, and then quickly jumped on the bike

Would you say a 175 would make a decent 'around town' bike, 40-50mph speeds
at max, more 25-35 speeds?

I like to start my bike in the morning on the kickstand, and let it warm up
while I go grab my helmet and gloves in the garage. It won't start in gear, and
it's on level ground, so it's not going anywhere...
But as they say, things happen for a reason... Enough people must have gotten
in troub
Besides, the bike will remind you that the kickstand is down the first time
you turn left ;)

Modern times have brought us a wonderful place where it should usually be
placed. ;) Just a handy hint.
Thanks for the brain-scratching there! I did a little google trawling; lots
of used parts, and stuff like head gaskets and oil seals are apparently
still available, at least for the 360. I might
Hey, all the journals say that it helps with brain condition for those of

Looks like (googlefu, go!) there was the 305cc CB/CL77 and the 247cc
CB/CL72. So I guess you had the CL72 (scrambler version) while
What didn't you like about the scrambler? What were the major differences? I
see scramblers frequently for sale.

Looks like there were CL versions for all the CBs on through the 70s. I'm
drawn to the same things, seat height and styling.
Most first editions aren't terribly good at what they do, either. :p You're
saying the CB77 was a much better choice?

s'cuse me, rated @ 34hp. Apparently the lineage went as thus: CB77 -> CB350
-> CB360, so it does seem to be an evolution of the Superhawk.
The question about regretting the Scrambler choice remains, unless you're
referring to his having electric and yours only having kickstart?

I love the Scrambler look; why did you regret the choice?
CB 360 seems to be officially rated at some 20hp; more than adequate for
around town, with its big 750cc cousin to hit the highways when I want to.
The 175 is still rated at 17hp, and I bet with a little tweaking, perhaps a
carb change, tha
