OK. I'll be away for a couple of days anyway so I'll catch up with you when I get back. Cheers.

Wow VonYinzer! How good is this! Just ask away and in a few days someone's come up with the goods. PM me with the details on cost and where to send the cash and I'll get back to you. Many thanks mate. Hecklejk, thanks again for your offer. I'll stick with VonYinzer because I know that what he...

Hi Hecklejk, Thanks for your offer. I have no idea what a '74 CB200 looks like so before you go to the trouble of the shipping quote could you take a picture of it and post it up? Many thanks, Rob.

Looks like mine is shot. Bike must have tipped over at some stage and busted it. A chunk is missing. I'm in Melbourne, Australia so consider that if you have one to sell and you're trying to work out a price. Cheers.

It also helps when you all park up against the kerb. Then everyone's bike leans the same way.

Are you referring to the 175 or the 350? The 350 is nothing like you're describing. It has a beam/brace/tube (call it what you will) bolted from one frame bottom tube to the other. It also has the footpegs and side stand mounted to it.

Only from a heart point of view. From a head point of view it's only half the work. ;D

OK, thread started. Add me to the list. http://dotheton.com/index.php?topic=12449.0

Hi all, Finally getting the project underway and I've removed the original footpeg crossbeam that goes under the motor. Do I need to replace it with anything or is the frame strong enough to live without it? I won't be racing this bike but I am 6 feet tall and weigh nearly 190lbs (height...

Yes, the heart was torn for a while but the cafe style is what I've always liked so that it shall be. Having said that I'll try not to do too much irreversible stuff to the frame. Unfortunately the look does require some commitment though.

OK, I think I've got it sorted. Try this: The theory is that it'll get clip-ons, exhaust, rear sets, cafe style seat, lower the headlight and instruments, etc. Bought it from a young guy at work and it came roadworthy and with all the appropriate paperwork so no more authorities to convince...

Hi all, Rob from Melbourne Oz. I've been lurking for a while and now the project has finally started. Lets see if I can get a picture to load. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27286315@N03/4205175865/ Hmm, so that's the link. How do I turn it into a photo? Don't get too excited. It's not a...

Thanks Liam. I'd guessed at about 15 so I'll give it a go and see what happens. I'm currently waiting on fork seals. I made the mistake of going to a reputable large bike shop with several branches around Melbourne who had them when I called but didn't have them when I went there, then got...

G'day Steve, No, no build thread yet. Having studied a lot of these sites and forums I've seen a lot of build threads that just seem to peeter out with no result. I'm tempted to just leave it all until it's finished then dump it all on a thread in one go. Guess that sort of defeats the...

Thanks. The manual says 200ml of 10-30 motor oil is standard. I'd prefer to use fork oil coz I guess it's made for forks (yeah, I know it sounds dumb) but I know that different weights of oil mean different rates of damping and that can also be affected by my weight. Just trying to get some...
