Let's see your Michigan rides

[MakeshiftPatriot]

I'm from Livonia, my names Sean, my buddies and I collect bikes. Vintage bikes are about all we work for, and work on. I'm twenty, this is my second year riding, grew up on dirtbikes.

Fishing in the UP on my CB350

Did you make the seat? 

I have no idea how to go about doing this, but I really wanna chop the back down on my cb400 as it is way too long and I never carry a passenger:

I'm in Dexter, right outside of Ann Arbor.

Seat, taillight/license plate bracket, turn signals and carb rebuild kits are in the mail.... I hate the waiting game!

Tires and rearsets are next.

Nice!  I'm from Brighton, but the bike is currently living in a pole barn in Pinckney - pretty close.

Post more pics once you get parts on!

Mines still only half done:

[Dirty Dan]

They're always half done...





Think I'm going to go out and throw a coat of black on the seat today. Still have to make a frame for it and mount it to the bike. I got some leather to make a seat pad, it should look good.

[Dirty Dan]

Went out and threw a few quick coats on the seat, used the rest of the checker tape I had sitting around, too

Ignore the fuzzy cellphone picture, I'm a shaky person and I was leaning up against my RX7 in the shop.

lookin good Dan, did you do the tank or? I like it...-Drew

[Dirty Dan]

Na, I didn't paint the tank, just the seat. Bike had a low budget spray job when I got it, I honestly haven't decided what color I'm going to go with in the end so I just stayed on the cheap and used a rattlecan I had sitting around and a 6 dollar roll of checker tape (that I got from Cafe Racer Ypsi... shameless plug, I know)

It's a stock 350F tank if you were asking if I made it or not.

Thanks for the compliments though! I'll post more (and better) pictures after I get her cleaned up a little more.

Very nice ride, Jack!

[jack]

thanks, it is my first bike period. friends were telling me to get a harley and I just couldn't do it. I love the look and style of a nice cafe bike. just something about them.

[kneedragger74]

Harleys are cool too. But now you can stand out from the rest. You'll be getting a lot more looks on your Honda than a Harley!

[jack]

that and it will will run forever too.
