The brake set up on the Honda 175cc / 200cc twin family of motorcycles are cable activated drums. While simple in nature, the brakes do a lot of work and should be working their best. A proper brake overhaul for the Honda CL175 Scrambler / CL200 Scrambler / CB175 / CB200 involves clean drums, fresh shoes, new cable and lubricated linkages, anything less is a compromise of your bike's stopping ability.
The suspension on the Honda CL175 Scrambler / CL200 Scrambler / CB175 / CB200 is divided between the front and rear of the motorcycle. The front suspension is a 33mm telescopic dampening rod style fork which utilizes hydraulic oil (aka fork oil) to control the front of the motorcycle. The rear suspension uses a pair of shocks with variable spring pre-load settings.
If you are going to own a Honda CL175 Scrambler / CL200 Scrambler / CB175 / CB200 motorcycle then you will need the proper tools. While your everyday wrenches, sockets and screwdrivers are important, there are a few special tools needed for your tool box when working on your Honda 175. Tools such as the rotor puller and oil filter wrench are necessary for an engine tear down.

These guys have a good idea for an old-bike business. But ---
These guys are not quite ready for prime time. They have not discovered the importance of customer service.
Before you order something on the web, try to get in touch with them. Try tech support (because what you got did not work). Try to see what is involved in getting a refund for a bad part. Try calling and listen to what they say on the calling tree. Try emailing tech support. This will be very informative and indicates what level of customer support there might be (or not).
They seem overwhelmed by customer response -- and they

Reviewing as an online customer. I love everything about this business. Their videos on YouTube (no advertising), their installation instructions for all of their parts, and the fact that they specialize in the old Honda bikes. Apparently they even teach repair classes to adults looking to learn about old bikes.
My one serious serious suggestion: Please at least offer free shipping on large online orders to be more competitive!!
