someone told me it could be the cam chain slipped a tooth and its now out of time... that had me worried i hope it is just something with spark or wiring.

New project bike started not 100% sure what i am going to do with it yet. Here it is as of right now.

Did you sell this yet? What are you asking for it? and any chance you would be willing to sell parts? I would mainly be interested in the engine.

Does it run? What does it need to be ready to go?

Nah its not a thruxton cowl its just something i designed in photoshop. I am going to try to make it by the end of June. I am just working on finishing up my head rebuild right now. The cowl is next on my list.

If it turns out good I am going to use to mold to make a bunch of them and sell them at a reasonable price.

Oh that was just a Photoshop concept hah. I am planning to make it next week. I will post details of how i make it and detailed pics when its done.

This is the bike w/o the cowl.

What do you guys think of this? Removes with 2 screws similar to the thruxton seat. It would fit cb500ts and cb450's
