Fender looks great, turn signals look great, not sure about the brake light. Maybe add a bracket to the front of the fender, similar to the middle one, to add rigidity to the little wings? That portion is all hidden under the seat anyway
Great work on the fender, yer it really works well, like the brake light too actually, I do think it would protrude from the fender too much, id possibly remove some material from the lights mounting position to sit lower. Just a thought
Gotta say at first i wasn't feeling that fender but i like it a lot came out real nice! But i also think that tail light is a lil to big. I go with something smaller. Excellent vid man! ✌
Thanks Sean! It's the smallest biggest light I could find :) (other than LED strip). Maybe with the seat it'll tame down ?? Still may go LED 😎. Cheers!
Awsome like always. I love the look of the fender. Did you think of using one of these indicator+break+backlight combinations and replace the rear indicators so the fender stays clear? Cant wait to See the next episode👍
Hi. Great videos. Thank you. 1 question (off topic to this particular video) , was it difficult getting the peashooter tailpipes to come out past the rear shocks. A lot of muffler replacements on old CLs, the muffler/exhaust ends stop just short of the rear suspension. And I know the original muffler has a big indentation on the inner side to get past the left shock. Did you need to bend/manipulate the pipes outward a lot to get the muffler tail ends past the shock? And, are those straight through/ minimal baffled pipes crazy loud? Too loud? Thank you. I really appreciate your thoughts...and your helpful videos and insights. 1972 Honda Scrambler CL175. share.icloud.com/photos/07yKQSDlqiR9nQoRTi4dV-1Tw#Lowell_Park
Hey Paul....as I was making the headers myself, my goal was to get past the shocks, so I kind of used the straight pipes as a guide to make sure they were pointed correctly. The pea shooters are super small so there was no need to indent them to get around. If you haven't checked it out, there is a vid in the playlist of how I made them. I never really had an original to go by so I don't really know how far out they came. If you want, send me an email - combustionjuncton8@gmail.com. I can snap a photo of the side profile to give you an idea of how close they are. The new shocks I have on it are bigger than the orig but still clears.. I've only had it running for a second since they've been on , but I was surprised at how low the noise actually was. My 450 cafe is waaaaay louder! The 175 looks great!
Combustion Junction Thank you. And thanks for your quick response. I will go back and check out that previous video. I’m sure I’ve seen it once already. But... won’t hurt to watch it again. I think I forgot you made the the header/ curvy pipes-allowing you to aim them whichever way you needed. Cool. I’ll be using the original header pipes. Pretty great shape still. Thanks again.
Fender looks awesome! Nice job with the turn signals too.
xTHATSFIVEx thanks!
Fender looks good, I like the position!
EXPLAINED WELL
Love it as always! Those rear lights have a nice old school & heavy duty vibe to them, really fit with the front headlight. Keep up the good work
Thanks Tom!
Like it, looks a little like a dirt tracker fender.
10x, very useful, man!
Looking good 👍 has a nice retro feel with the turn signal and taillight...almost looks OEM
Thanks! OEM!! 👍
Great job, great excution of a plan.
Thanks! Appreciated 👍

Thanks! I totally agree about the mount... will probably try to cut it down. Cheers!
Looks good man!

fender's great... i suggest a smaller taillight... like a little led stripe one.... would fit the flat contour of the fender much nicer imho
Yeah I go back and forth... old school vs sleek. Will probably try both....
Burnt your nose welding? 😂 nice vid as always
pfally lol. No , I snuck down to Costa Rica for the weekend ... no worries, winter prevailed and I’m pale as ever...🥶.

Like an LED Strip? I have another from the other project.... I go back and forth often. Will most likely try both. Cheers!
