Been Around the Block
Hello all, I've been working on a new project for the last couple of months but never got round to posting anything about it here on DTT, its a bit chilly this morning and I don't feel like actually doing any work so thought I'd sit at the comp instead....
Anyhow, the idea was to build something with some of the looks and feel of a 60's single cylinder race bike but using modernish parts. I picked on the Honda 650 partly because I like Hondas, the radial valve arrangement appeals to me especially but mainly because I came across one for a couple of hundred pounds....and then a second one turned up too!
The first one is really just a try out and once everything is sorted and I'm happy with it then I'm intending to build the second one as a road legal bike. So far, I've been making bits but a few days ago I started the final build of the first bike....heres a few pics....
