It's a straight swap and looks a millions time better.

Is the bike stock?

If this is the thread to ax for things, I need a Carrillo conrod, 71mm piston, and a Megacycle cam for my B25 engine build. I need a bunch of other crap too, but those are a good start. :)

I built a cooler radio for floating a couple summers ago. It was super easy and there are bunch of how-to sites out there. Your plan would be easier since you don't need to include the battery.

What metal? I cut aluminum in my garage using a jigsaw without problem. For steel I used the bandsaw at work. I'm not sure you'll be able to get a good metal cutting bandsaw for $150. I don't want to say it can't be done, but where I'm at they go for at least $500, used.

Where is the steam whistle?

I don't what to say about mine besides it started out ugly, I replaced a ton of parts, and I think it turned out nice. All the work was done inside my garage including the handmade tail section, hand built exhaust, top end rebuild, and all paint/body work. Before.

I humbly accept. Thank you for the nomination.

Or you could "build" a bike with a tank that looks like the robots head and paint it the same as the robot and have orange plug wires that light up and be on Discovery Channel and people would call you a cake decorator.

Cleaning the fin edges by hand sucks. If I had a compressor, I would have used a die grinder with a scotch bright pad.

Re: 82' KZ440 Cafe' Brat Build- so close! starter needs rebuilt That thing looks wet on the inside. Do you have a bad seal?

Re: 74 CL360 Resurrection to Cafe Racer The natural patina on that bike is great. I'd say get it running and don't change much. If you were able to get the gas tank cleaned and coated it would be great as in, imo.

You could run the hoses to the front fender and have your very own ram air intake.

That might be the only way to get the CV carbs to run with pods. Just sayin.
