Inspiring! I echo the sentiments of others that this build has made me feel like a complete slacker. This is a truly inspired build. The 60s Suzuki badges on the space age (for the time) Hans Muth inspired tank should not work....but it does. Everything you have done so far is purposeful and...

Actually, the seat will be about 2" lower then in the previous pics

Great thread. I have an SR250 waiting in the wings. That glass pan is a good option but I would need a hoop. I'll let the new owner make the final tail end decisions. Until then, this will have to do.

Thanks for the responses. Think we got the issue sussed. While not the most elegant solution, we were able to gain the needed inches without viagra. The gap between frame rail and tire exists but isn't a deal breaker.

As a guy that grew up riding and loving air cooled UJMs (I'll be 55 this year) and along with a fellow gearhead restore larger displacement bikes (Z1, GS1100e, GS1000e, CB750 etc.) for fun an meager profit, I generally fall on the side of restoration over hacking them up. That being said, the...

Are parts still available off this CB??? I have interest in a few.

Viet, Did you get my shipping address?
