Honda CD175, CB175, CL175 Parts Catalog – Real OEM Documentation

You’ve got a 1967 Honda 175 on the lift – maybe a CD175, a CB175, or a CL175. The owner wants it back on the road, and you need to know which piston ring set fits, or which shift drum fork goes where. You don’t want a reprint from some third-party outfit that guesses at part numbers. You want the factory diagram, the exact casting numbers, the exploded view that Honda’s own service center used. That’s what this Honda CD175, CB175, CL175 Parts Catalog is. 181 pages of OEM part listings, directly from the Honda Motor Co., Ltd. Service Center, dated March 20, 1967.

7 Engine Assembly Sections – From Cylinder to Transmission

The catalog breaks the engine down into 16 sections marked E-01 through E-16. You get the whole bottom-end layout: Cylinder and head on E-01, Crankshaft on E-02, Camshaft and Valve train on E-03. Clutch and oil pump are on E-04, and the clutch adjuster and left crankcase cover on E-05. Need to find the right mainshaft or countershaft for the CD175? That’s E-06. The CB and CL175 transmission parts are on E-07. Upper crankcase and shift drum live on E-08, under crankcase and kick starter on E-09. You also get drain cock, contact breaker, spark advancer, magneto, starting motor, oil filter, and carburetor sections (separate left and right carb diagrams for the CB/CL). That’s coverage you won’t find in a Chilton’s book.

Frame and Body Parts – Every Nut and Bolt

Sections F-01 through F-38 cover the rolling chassis. Steering handle, front cushion, steering stem, fuel tank, frame body, seat, stand, muffler, air cleaner, rear fork, wheels, lights, switches, wire harness – all broken down by model. There’s even a separate section for England-spec headlights and winkers (F-15, F-17). The exploded diagrams are factory-sourced, so you can see exactly which washer goes where on the rear fork of a CL175. The document includes a Part No. Index at the back, so you can look up a number and find the page fast. No guesswork.

How the Part Numbers Work – Real Factory Logic

Page 1 of the manual explains the numbering system. A part number like 11-101-235-020 breaks down into function number, component number, product number, and classification number. When you order parts, you reference engine number (stamped on the upper crankcase) and frame number (stamped on the head pipe). The manual also tells you about Revision Sheets issued every three months to keep the catalog current. That’s the kind of documentation a shop needs to avoid ordering the wrong sprocket or gasket. If you’re used to aftermarket catalogs that skip these details, this is a different animal.

Does This Manual Cover All Three Models at Once?

Yes. The “Application of Parts List” on page 2 explicitly states it covers Honda 175 models CD175, CB175, and CL175. Within each section, the diagrams and part lists are separated by model where components differ. For example, the transmission section has E-06 dedicated to CD175 and E-07 for CB/CL175. The carburetor sections split into right and left for the CB/CL twin-carb setup. You don’t need to buy three separate manuals – this one handles all variants. That’s money and shelf space saved.

Source Authenticity – OEM vs Aftermarket Documentation

I’ve seen aftermarket parts lists that copy the exploded diagrams but swap in generic part numbers or omit the revision notes. This catalog is a direct scan of the Honda Genuine Parts publication, compiled by the Honda Service Center. It includes the original binder hole marks and the faint ghost of the page after the cover – it’s genuine, not a re-typeset knockoff. When you’re working on a 1967 bike, having the original part number ensures you don’t end up with a wrong clutch plate because some third party transposed a digit. Honda VFR750F 1994 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Parts Breakdown follows the same philosophy. If you need something bigger, Honda VFR400R VFR400Z 1989 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Manual is built the same way. Or if you’re into scooter work, Honda PCX150, WW150EX 2014 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Manual gives you that same factory structure.

FAQ – Two Quick Ones

Q: Can I use this catalog to find torque specs for cylinder head bolts?

A: No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. You’ll get part numbers and exploded views, but torque values are not listed here. You need the factory service manual for that. On the other hand, the Automotive Industry Overview might help you locate the right service doc.

Q: How do I tell which transmission parts belong to the CD175 vs the CB/CL?

A: Use pages E-06 and E-07. E-06 is labeled “Transmission (CD175)” and E-07 is “Transmission (CB,CL175)”. The diagram numbers and part callouts are model-specific.

Bottom line: this is the Honda factory parts breakdown for the 175 twins. If you’re bolting a motor together, ordering gaskets, or tracing a missing component, you need this on your bench. Automotive Battery isn’t in this catalog, but the wire harness and battery tray part numbers are. Access the Factory Manual now and stop flipping through blurry online scans.
