Are you selling these?

Sonic's right, No! I've done a fair few of these with the pressed steel top tree and modifying it in anyway to allow the forks to move inside it would be very dangerous and simply wouldn't work. You have two options, as Sonic suggested you can lower the front end by modifying the internals of...

Got a link to the CDI mate? Cheers

Re: Deco Daze, '88 CD250U. *almost there* Absolutely loving this, you're doing a great job!

Enjoying this build, I'm doing a CB400n, almost identical bike. Did you get this from the south coast? I thought I saw it on ebay a month or so ago. Where did you pick up the foam for the seat?
