Title: Putting the "H" back into Vinduro
Post by: cyclegod on February 04, 2011, 01:37:00 pm

Time to start a new thread about my bike builds, hopefully it won't be going for three years like project TM-S185,
first off I'm doing two concurrent builds a 1981 IT175H and a 1981 TT250H....

I will add more in-depth description and pics later.... ;)

I reckon I have a chain case (black plastic gaurd that fits to the swing arm on the chain side) to fit your IT. Not too bad condition from memory, maybe a split eyelet. Any how, I am happy to donate to your cause if you need one.

Cheers Jason

IT175 is now dismantled/sand blasted and off to the powder coaters, seat has been recovered, new DT175 speedo base plate has been welded to the IT speedo mount and not a hell of a lot else as I have been fixing my old scooter (adapting a chinese muffler as the OEM is no longer available)

 some before pics...

Nice job on the rebuild. One point to note that the original speedo for that model IT is a plastic mount and unit like what you originally had in your first picture. The ones you have are for the J model IT's which have the hook to mount the headlight. Are you running the original headlight assembly.
Keep the pics coming.

I still have the plastic mount but I needed somewhere to mount the key switch and there are no clearance issues with the original 'H' headlight.

Carb and airbox are on, shock mounted, wiring looked at then distracted by F1 GP  :o

If only my "effort" was too, Christ I've been slack with this thing, I've had it nearly 2 years now.

She is still coming along really nicely.  We all have times when the motivation wanes or life gets in the way.  You've done the hard yards, you just have to add the final touches  8) 8)
