1967 Bridgestone 175HS

A guy delivering motorcycles in Los Angeles had this bike on his trailer. The original buyer backed out. The chrome tank caught my eye and I negotiated a deal as it wasn’t ‘as advertised’ (probably why the original buyer passed on it).

I got it running with the help of a few friends but it was beat up and had it’s issues. So I decided to do a complete restoration on it with some modifications. Victor “The Carb Whisperer” helped me completely rebuild the engine along with add an electronic ignition. It is a fun, zippy bike to ride around town.
