OK, I checked out some fork braces but all the cool ones are for dirtbikes and won't fit. I'm saving the fender so I can cut the brace out later if needed....its just sooooo ugly. I seriously plan to cruise this thing around town like a scooter, so I'm not too worried.


My tank is already sealed and looks nice inside. I meant a dent underneath so that there may be a gap between top edge of petcock and bottom of tank. Tried to find the Permatex stuff and some Loctite made for press fittings (for the petcock barbs) and could not locate either one.


New problem is the made-in-Thailand Keihins I got. The caps are not threaded for a throttle cable adjuster. I can order all of the parts I need for $60, but before that I am going to try just sitting the adjusters form the CB200's original carbs on the top of the new ones. I think I got them synched pretty well by just adding a thin washer under one of them.

This bike is one of the best cb200's ive seen, would love to see how it ended up. A few questions which rear shocks did you go for
and how long are they. Are both rims 1.85" or did you have to go bigger for the rear. What tyre is the rear?

many thanks

Its been a while since I touched the bike. Moved to a new house in June and its been in the corner since.  Just needs some choke buttons put on and the gas lines rerouted and then should be ready to fire up for the 1st time. Its been so long, its hard to remember, but I think the rear tire is 3.5" wide. I think they are IRC GS11s if that sounds right. Both rims are stock. I believe the shocks are like a 1/4" or something shorter than stock but the springs are way beefier so that helps with the look. They were Assault brand that I found on ebay a while ago. Maybe made by Redwing?

Here's what it looked like before we loaded it in the truck to move...

Fired this thing up for the first time last night. It started pretty easily. Any chance someone has tried pe24 carbs on a cb200 since I last checked in? I need all the tuning tips I can get.

Oh nice build, btw.  I like the green

I have a similar situation.  moved my project  72 cb175 in boxes twice.  Finally got a place to work, but no cash for parts.
