So my current project is a 1980 CX500 custom. I'm not a fan of the custom tank, and would like a tank that resembles the Deluxe tank. Issue for me is I can't find a deluxe tank at a reasonable price. My question is, is there any tanks from other bikes that will fit the CX500? Sent from my...

Well, my plans have changed with the bike; I have a friend who just got his motorcycle endorsement and was looking for a starter bike. So in the end, i built it to how he liked it and its now his first bike.

Have fun "truing" those spokes. I did it on my 125, and its just a pain. I'm considering picking up an '80 750c in the next town over to build into a cafe, the 250 project I'm working on is going to be scrapped and built to order for a friend of mine.

Yeah it's going to be a mixture of low budget and ingenuity. Definitely going for rearsets; I putted around a little and its just uncomfortable using the standard ones. I actually had my feet on the passenger's pegs and it felt better ;D .

Re: 1991 CB250 project I got it running and the tank shaped. I chopped the back end of the frame to allow a flat seat to be put on. I'm thinking I get one of those prefab seats from Roccity for this one. Next up after the seat is getting rid of those trumpets! Unfortunately when I got this...

my seat just needs to be done to form right to it. But it has the perfect shape for when you gotta tuck in. I thought it was going to be huge too on it. it surprisingly looks almost perfect

Re: 1991 CB250 project On the 125, you can get away without using rearsets. The 250 needs them for sure. 125: Redo the seat, will use the same pan and just make an upholstered foam cafe style backend. Bolt everything down tight. Figure out how to get it registered. (It was practically...

:D I know how EMS goes, I'm an EMT-I down here in NM. These projects keep my mind off work and on building. I guess EMS stress relief is either tobacco, tattoos, projects, or a combo of all!

A harley sportster tank looks good on the cb125. It fits pretty well.

Well I just ran into this site and figured it was worth checking out. I recently "finished" a '79 CB125 cafe project (few more odds and ends need to do..) and now I'm working on a '91 CB250 I picked up from my friend for $150. But I figured I should post some images and get some...

PM'd you. Im new to the site, but not new to building these bikes. NM is one heck of a place to try to get a title.
