Havent had the time to do get everything done these past weeks. Just broke the wheels down today and will be dropping the hoops off for powder coat this weekend. Painted the frame but forgot to take pictures. Hoping to have it back rolling again within two weeks. Then the fun starts...

Accidentally posted this in the cafe forum - moved it here because I will most likely take this in a tracker ish direction. Picked up a non running, hacked up basket case 1970 CL350. Started working on it this week. The frame was already cut off at the back. I welded in a hoop - which was a...

Picked up a non running, hacked up basket case 1970 CL350. Started working on it this week. The frame was already cut off at the back. I welded in a hoop - which was a little bit of a challenge due to the stamped frame. Cut the hoop pretty short, it will be a cosmetic piece only, not weight...

Thanks! It's funny you mention that, I just picked up a basket case 1970 cl350. I plan on doing it similar to this one also. I may start up a build thread for it. Good luck with yours, have fun!

Thanks! I did a visual inspection and then put it all together and was praying all was okay. The smart thing would have been to rebuild before I put it all back together, but luck was on my side this time. The headlight is actually an eBay special from china. J&P cycles has one which is...

Thanks! The bars are Renthal Ultra Low "Superbike" bars. I ran clubmans on my last build, these are 10x better.

Thank you - Yes the peg mounts are now gone! After looking at it I knew they had to go, so I hacked them off. Next winter I will smooth them out completely. As for the pods, I intend on replacing them also. Although it runs well after going up a few sizes on the mains. What is the...

Here is the first day I had it on the road. After a couple weeks of chasing around a carb issue - which turned out to be a bad BRAND NEW pilot jet from a rebuild kit. Cleaned up the original pilot jet and swapped that in, a little tuning and it ran great. I built the exhaust from scratch...

Misc progress

Buttoning up the last of the wiring, convereted to the Spark regulator rectifier combo along with the Lithium Ion battery. Works great so far!

Spooned on the Avon Roadriders, and it was finally a roller. Went with the black Renthal superbike bars. Also, cut and painted the fender.

Alot of the parts came from Dime City as you can probably tell, as well as a handful of cheapo ebay parts (headlight, gauges, shocks) In this pic I am mocking up the seat and the tail light, which is an LED tail/brake light off of a Honda CRF250x Fast forward a bit, by February my garage...

Made a quick low profile electronics/ battery box - just deep enough to fit the Antigravity 6ah battery. I basically rewired the bike from scratch, which actually went very smoothly after sifting through all the incorrect wiring diagrams out there. Also spooned off tires, cut the spokes and...

After skimming the forums for some time I figured I'd post some pictures of my project from this past winter. I started with a 1973 CB450 in basket case condition that I picked up for next to nothing. It was a project that someone started to teardown and then abandoned and let sit for about 10...
