New Project - Honda CB160

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! 

 

This weekend, my inlaws gave my husband and I their Honda CB160 that's been sitting in their garage for maybe 40-odd years!  The good thing - it was in the garage so the rust isn't too bad.... the bad thing, the battery leaked and caused some damage.  Oh well.  But i think we have a decent bike to start restoring to first driveable condition, then possibly onto a full restoration to start showing.  I'm quite excited to start working on this, although I know it will be a bit more time so we can get past the holidays, etc.  I also want to do some more research on it etc.

 

My first question - how can you tell what year it is?  My mother in law thought it was a 1964-65, but after doing a bit of reading, they didn't build these until 1965.  The vin doesn't tell us anything about the year of the bike.  I'm open to all ideas, suggestions and places to buy parts etc.
