It's not a cb, and they're only cell phone pics, but they're ok I think. Let me know what you think :

(the leak onto the left pipe is from me not wiping the chain after lube today)

nice,what material did you use for that seat?

thin gauge steel. I beat metal for a hobby as well, hence the nickname. It bolts to the rear hoop cross-member and I welded in a captured nut in front.

I'll have to check that out. being an ex-bike (pedal) racer, I am a big fan of wax lubes on non-o ring chains. Truth be told, the old chain was a bit surface rusty, and I was using some lube/rust buster material to take off some of the grime before I lubed it for real. I am a big fan of pj1 blue for my o-ringers.
 
majority of bikes here arent hondas. simply too many other brands ;)

thanks.

the bar is combo running/brake, the license frame has the turn signals. Worked great until I lost the rectifier/regulator and fried them.. blew every bulb and resisitor wired in the frame, front signals, headlight, etc etc etc..
 
Very nice. I have a kz440. How much header wrap did you use? I need to buy some I heard 75' of the 2" tape works, what about you though?
 
sweeeet. Very clean looking machine. I have to ask, what are you doing for a battery?

sorry - been away for a while.

If you check the build thread - you will see two 6v lighting batteries wired to 12v under the seat.
