Been Around the Block
Howdy! Been a browser for a long time. Finally decided now that the snow is on the ground and building season has officially commenced up here in the great northwest, I'd start a build thread.
About a year ago I picked up my first bike, an 82 CB750K, and now I'm beyond hooked. Used to build Toyota trucks to crawl over bus sized rocks, never thought I'd be excited about "lowering" anything in my garage. I'll soon start a build thread for my other projects, a 72 CB350 for the girl, and an 83 V65 for a buddy.
Whoa back to the build. Picked up an 85 V45 Magna this summer, and started making changes immediately.
Bone stock the day she came home
Hated the red and round headlight, along with those ugly giant horns, and uncomfortable cruiser bars, so I reused some old CB750 parts
Out with the roommate and his V65
More turn signals, black paint, and a nice dent
More pictures to come...
Now that the snows down shes torn into lots of little pieces. Gonna give a test run on some Rebel shocks, and lowered the forks an inch in the triples. Ditched the ugly factory cluster, currently drooling over some DCC gauges. Planning on ditching the forward controls in favor of a higher and tigher set from TC bros (Tired of dragging those ones, and that was before I lowered it)
Lots more pictures and a TON more questions to come later. Thanks for looking.
