Love it! Yeah if I did find a junker to transform I'd do a flat tracker style. I can't imagine a cafe'd 125 would be any fun to ride due to stance.

Both are within reach. Both seem to be in above average or good shape on most fronts. They're both 1975's oddly enough. Both are very similarly priced as well ($1500 for the 125, and $1800 for the 200)

Uses: 1. Short commute to work and meetings, none of which would be on a road with a speed limit over 45mph 2. Fun weekender around town 3. Bike to learn how to work on engines Which would you buy, why?

I'm thinking about jumping, but seems a little expensive? http://clovis.craigslist.org/mcy/4918383325.html

Went with the 8 cell antigravity. Thanks Bananas

I'd love some help! - '75 CB750 - LED front and rear blinker - Benji's rear seat with brake light - Standard headlight - Brand new stator - Newish Reg/Rec unit What do you think?

Will it just plug and play or will I have to get it bored out?

Engine runs ok, not far from needing a complete rebuild. I just sold a gun and have the cash to do it now. Which 836 kit do you recommend?

Purchased these with the intent of building a bike. Came upon a bike that was already finished, therefore I have no need for this tank. I'm in Eastern NM, but will ship wherever need be. $225

The owner had some brand new carbs, but decided to go with a different bike altogether. It's currently located at a custom shop in Lubbock and the mechanic is the one who will be doing the carb work for me.

The biggest reason for the selection of the 360 would be it's immediate availability and proximity to me. I'm in Eastern NM, and the pickins are slim to say the least. Anyone know of a quality option besides my daily scouring of craigslist for the last 8 or so weeks haha?

I want to make this bike great. Take my time with it, enjoy the process. I want this engine to hum. I'll be using it as a daily rider/commuter to work (which is 2 miles away from my house). Ultimate goal here is to maintain this bike for the long haul. I want my son to grow up working on these...

Is this a good bike to start with? I have owned bikes, but never done anything like this. Engine fires up, compression is good (about 5psi difference). No carbs, would love some opinions. I'll have around $3500 to put into this bike.
