It's a 1967 Honda CB160 (same year as the GTO  :))

Does anyone know what oil I should use? The owners manual says 30W

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?

If you have an accident on a motorcycle, it's always your fault. Tough call, but it has to be that way. You're in the right, and dead -on a bike. The principle is not to have any accident. If you're involved in an an accident, it's because you did not anticipate. Then, by default, you failed.

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
