year of a CD175
« on: March 20, 2012, 09:23:33 AM »
I have the following info

Vin is cd175-2004070 and the engine # is cd175e-200420.

images of the bike are here -> http://imgur.com/a/VznHI

I'm looking into restoring it (rusted out tank, rusted out Exhaust, seized engine...maybe not a great idea).

Looks to be in remarkably good condition, except for the missing sidecovers  - polish it and ride off into the sunset ?  Not from your description though.
Tough little motors though, has it seized from use/abuse or from standing ?

Bit of a description here

Many Ondas had a date stamped onto the tag on the headstock, yours doesn't have. ?

Its possible to discreetly weld plates onto mufflers as a repair, particularly if they don't show,  they look too good to discard ??

Nice bike :) Have the pipes got holes in them? Coz you can get pattern ones. Spares are dead easy to find and still quite cheap.
