Here are some shots of my brother's Honda CL77 (305) Sonicweld replica he built about 8-10 years ago.
Here's the article http://www.honda305.com/racing/index.htm under the Vintage Racers Flat Track CL77 subject.
It has a Bultaco Pursang front fork with shortened travel and a Bultaco conical hub front brake laced to a 19" Sherpa S (Akront) rim (he didn't know, I did, it was my rim). He and some friends built the hardtail. He modeled it with PVC tubing to get the proper bends, then sent the PVC tubes to be replicated in steel. They set up the frame in a jig one friend used to build his H2 triple drag racer frame.
The tank is CL175, rear rim is Yamaha XS650 ridged alloy, the seat is some chopper accessory as is the headlight, handlebars are K&N model 13 (from my SR500, I like model 24 bars better), and a fender I got from Domiracer years earlier.
Riding it reminds you of just how nice a swingarm frame really is, regardless of the quality of the shocks.
