Never mess with a wookie
Hey guys..
Decided it was time to stop lurking the projects forum and finally post my long-termer.
Started out 2 summers ago finding this cb900f sitting in a barn(seriously) at a previous boss's house. He said I could have it for a case of beer, just had to get it home.
fast forward to this past summer I finally got it home for the princely sum of 20 dollars...
loaded on the moving truck...
clubmans installed and a quick wash down looks so much better
sitting next to its garage mate..
and currently after i've taken some stuff off...
Anyway the bike hasn't run since 97 and other than needing a starter, a tank flush/de-rust, and carb rebuild its in wonderful shape. It even came with a nice Weisco 1050 big bore kit installed. I've got big plans for it, but recently falling victim to the economy and losing about 30k a year in salary will dictate what can and can't be done to this. Hell....i'm just happy to have something to tinker with(this and my Buell)
Anyway my vision is a stiffened frame, gsxr front end swap, some kind of stiffer swinger out back, more modern 17" wheels, upgraded suspension, some nice paint, and a decent looking cafe seat (maybe even a tank) with a heavy influence on looking mostly retro - we will see on that. My hope is to be more cafe than fighter, hence the reason I posted it here...
Anyway I'll hopefully get some time this weekend to strip more off of her after working at job number 2 (cycle gear ftw!). I'll keep you guys posted, i've got the itch to really get going on this.
