Funny you should say that as i did have a little project when we first moved in ;) http://s45.photobucket.com/albums/f66/BBSparky/The%20%20bar/


Bike is getting there. Waiting on a couple of parts to turn up and then have someone sorting a wiring diagram for me which will have just the basics required for the bike to run etc

Welcome aboard Bibs

Not local to you, but if there's any questions we can collectively answer - just post them up.

Let's have some details of your build - pix ?
 
hay beachcomber,
hope these work..
started with this bit of rubbish
http://i1124.photobucket.com/albums/l577/bibs-uk/IMG_0456.jpg
and im currently with this
http://i1124.photobucket.com/albums/l577/bibs-uk/photo.jpg

Learnt a lot during this and how to do it all differant next time, loads of tools purchased and bloody hands.
just wish i could weld but ill save that for my next purchase and teach myself i think.
started with a cb250 as it seemed an easy starting block so dercided to do it up, sell it and move to a bigger one, maybe a 500? sticking with the hondas i thinki as ive always loved them.
sorry for the bad quality, will do some more detailed ones soon plus wiped my camera by mistake so lot a lot of the inbetween shote.
 
Hi, fellow Brits, living right in the middle of France at the moment, very cold -10 and getting colder, was hoping to work on the bike today, but touching metal at -10 is not very pleasant.
 
Hey Frog - bienvenue .........................

Glad to have you here, what's all this - 10 ?? Sun always shines in France - right ?

Where in France?

Let's have some details of what you're working on. Maybe this should be the DTT / UK and EU Chapter !
 
Hi, sadly the sun doesn't always shine here, actually the sun is shining but it's -15 today, I'm right in the middle of France, Limousin, originally from North East England (Darlington). I'm converting my BMW RT80, I'v scrapped every non essential part, reducing the weight by fifty pounds, fitting a single sixties style humped seat, getting the tank nickle plated, I'm going to fit peashooter or dunstall silencers once I get a ball park figure for upping the jets, I should be on the road again March/April and I'll post some pics
 
I know the region quite well - been a Francophile for over 50 years !

When it's warm enough - get that Box Brownie out and shoot us some pix.

I've built 3 Airhead Cafe Racers now - last one 8 years ago. All based on twinshock R80s as they used to be relatively cheap as donors.
 
Wallsend Tyne and w***. Freezing me knackers of in the garage,trying to figure what to do with me cb 900.?????
 
ayup Ragg, any pics of the 900? I do like them cb's, what ideas/plans have you?

welcome aboard by the way
