Nicely done, I hope to have a 450 some day.

Spread your wings and fly, oh me oh my

Does that rear wheel have a cush drive?

Definitely would do it for the suspension upgrade, not just the brakes. I do not have a 'Machine Shop Guy' at the moment so I would like to keep the machine work to a minimum and not spend a ton of money on a front end that I may just end up replacing with what I originally wanted, and it is...

Not sure what my target trail value is at the moment, probably close to stock. Have to take into account the taller CB900 shocks being used on the rear, also have to decide on wheel and tire size before I will be ready to do the math. Bike has to be safe before anything else comes in to play...

Anybody have any real world experience with increased offset triple clamps? I am not aware of anyone building a bike with these. Thinking about going this route if I do a USD fork swap with 18 or 19 wheel. Unfortunately they are also costly so any insight on the topic is appreciated.

Whoa! Nice!

One important thing is parts availability. Can you find a spare engine for a reasonable price? Are many parts available for your project?

Re: Sandrew's CB900 'phantom' Doing a great job Sandrew, that seat is perfect!

I really could not say how much it would cost, have not started the head rebuild yet. Don't be afraid to shop around but make sure the shop is a good one.

Dynoman, Cycle X, APE will have what you are looking for. Probably best to leave the removal and installation up to an expert unless you have access to the proper equipment needed for the job. Most places will bead blast the ports before removing the old guides and there can be some fine tuning...

This is the first time I have seen a Honda tank replace a Sportster tank. Good luck with this project, there are some fine looking sportster cafe bikes. Hide Motorcycle from Japan has a really nice example.

Have not had much time to work on this, when I do have time, there is no money. Either way, I still enjoy my time spinning wrenches at my own pace. Sometimes the garage is the only place where my opinion matters, it is the place I plan for battle, as well as the place to lick my wounds and...
