This is the first bike project that my mate Sam and I are building.
It's a 1972 Honda CB250 (ignore the 350 side covers!).
We picked up the bike of eBay and had it stripped that arvo.
The wheels were sent off to the powder coaters for a fresh coat of gloss black, I then laced them using stainless spokes from Dime.
Tires are Firestone ANS 18x4.00 on the front and 18x4.50 on the rear.
Bars are Ventura Suzuki, supermoto style.
Next up is fender mods, powder coating the frame and start rebuilding the engine.
Sam and I have started a little Facebook blog to showcase the progress and provide a bit of daily inspiration.

Good stuff I just bought one last week,planing on turning it into a tracker. Do you have any issues' getting parts for it ? My local Honda dealer says they're a bit of an oddball.
Fabbed a few rear frame brace today to suit the lowered fender.
Still need to tidy up the fender mounts and drill new taillight mounting holes on the fender.
Looks good so far! Was it a hard time lacing up the wheels without damaging the black paint / powder coat?
I'm gonna try this in a few weeks and I'm having nightmares thinking about it.
