It's a 1967 Honda CB160 (same year as the GTO :))
Does anyone know what oil I should use? The owners manual says 30W
Nice! Its in better shape than me...I'm a '66 though.
Sweet looking bike GTO.

How cute - does it run on gas or milk? ;D ;D ;D
Seriously, looks great - appears to be in fantastic shape. I remember seeing those running around when they were new. I was still on my Apple Crate at the time, though.
As for oil, I'd yry to find & use what the owner's manual suggests. 30w might be kind of stiff for cool weather, though - maybe a 10w-30?

I dig the Indian fender light :D
nice!
Don't use a car type 10w-30, not good for the clutch plates.
Ah to be 16 again, my friend Dennis had a CB160, considering that my rides were on my brother's 55cc Yamaha single at that time-his CB160 put him in the "kid with big bike" category! Now remember I'm talking 1967-1968. 250's and 350's were considered "big" bikes back in that time.
That should be fun to ride and show!
NV: I don't know if I will take the light off or not. If I remove it I will have two holes in the fender.
What do you think that light is from?
I was in Chicago for a week of training on new equipment. I showed the midwest service manager
pictures of the Vision and he asked if I wanted another project :) So to make a long story short he
gave it to me!

hard to tell from this far away, but it looks like a fender light for an Indian Chief. If it has a "face" on the lense... it most likely is... original? replica?

I'm still waiting for my turn for someone to bestow a "treasure" on me... with my luck, it would probably be a Monkey-Wards 250 / Zundapp :-\
The light has "No. 410 DO-RAY" on it. The original owner put it on the bike when he bought it new.
With the bike, I got the owners manual, shop manual, cover, and windshield (the windshield I need to pick-up
next time I'm in Chicago)
Here is a better picture of the light

He carries pictures of his bike with him, but does he also carry pics of the gf/wife & kids?.... ;D ;D
Pictures of the kids in the wallet. :)
No picture of the wife :-[
