    anyone tried sandblast+clear powder coat?

    i wanted to do somehting similar to this on my bike but a bunch of hot rod/chopper people who i consider to know what they are doing told me it would rust under the clear after a few seasons. Being right on the east coast (about 20 minutes from the atlantic), any prospect of rust terrifies me so...

    cutting a tank

    i cut my tank in half and am in the process of welding it up to be stretched 3 inches with a slightly modified back end. all i did was let is sit for a few days and then rinse it out with water. i experienced no explosions/fires. ;)

    new to Cafes

    you could rock like the straight accross style drag bars too if you don't wanna be hunched over quite as far as clubmans/clip ons. my bike had clubmans when i bought it and they kind of sucked until i did up some rear sets to go along with them.

    LOST KEY! HELP!

    you can get a blank at a honda shop and take the lock cylinder to a lock smith. its usually not too terribly expensive if you bring it to them (unlike when they have to come to you cuz you locked your self out of your car or something). might be cheaper to just buy a new ignition switch like the...

    Some More CB200 Idle Issues (vintage bike show tomorrow, help!)
