    First bike, first mod, first everything - kind advice appreciated!

    Working on picking out my electricals....I need to do some more research though since mine is a 6V. Dunno if i feel like trying to convert, or work with what I have. Also trying to figure out options for a different seat. I feel like if I can at least pick out everything I need, I'll have a...

    Thanks so much! I appreciate the advice. That speedo is one I've looked at - I love it. That's my dream speedo.

    First bike, first mod, first everything - kind advice appreciated!

    Thanks for the advice. I'll probably play around with it some this weekend. Life has been pretty dang busy lately so it's pretty much only weekends right now when I can look at it. One other question. I'd LOVE to put on a new spedo. This would be a dream one for me...

    Update: Re: First bike, first mod, first everything - kind advice appreciated! Not a whole lot done yet on her. I took and passed the motorcycle safety course. Woohoo! Big first step I'd say. I've taken it out a couple times now. Trying to build up my confidence. I did take off the highway...

    Lincoln/Omaha Ne?

    Hey, I'm very very late to this post, but I just moved to Omaha this winter. Also, I just bought my very first bike EVER! 1980 Honda cm200t. I'm formulating ideas in my head constantly of what to do with her. Just wanted to drop in and say hi!

    First bike, first mod, first everything - kind advice appreciated!

    I'll definitely have to give it a ride around and a feel to see if the clubmans work. I'm guessing they will for little ole' me. My inseam is probably around 29-30 inches and I have small arms and hands. Ha. :P I'll be shopping around for different wheels as well. I'd love for this bike to...

    First bike, first mod, first everything - kind advice appreciated!

    Great advice. I think I'll definitely see a huge change in the look of it from the changes you mentioned. I think the only thing I'd need to have professionally done is the seat work. I dont have the tools to shave off the back seat area, and I want the seat to look nice. Maybe something with...

    Thanks! It sounds like the bike was well taken care of. The guy that has it now was good friends with the original owner, but he ended up in senior living. The new owner has added some new parts, and likes to talk, so I'll try and get a list of all the new stuff he's installed and find out as...

    I just bought this 1980 Honda cm200 Twinstar on ebay. The seller lives nearby and will be bringing it over this weekend. This is the first bike of my own. I've always been a passenger so I'm really excited to have one of my own that I can customize. I'm also going to include some inspirational...

    CM200t Twinstar RE style clone

    Nice! I like the color. I'm looking at a cm200t right now. Where did your friend find the seat? I'd like to change it out (if I get the bike). I'm not a fan of the originals at all. I like cafe style single seats but don't know where to find them. It seems like there isn't much for after market...

    CM185t Twinstar - Is it a swan yet?

    Re: CM185t Twinstar - The Ugly Duckling. Hi! Did you custom the seat? I'm keeping an eye on a 1980 cm200t - pretty much stock right now. If I get it, I'll be putting clubmans on it and painting it. The seat is hideous and fat, and I'm little (5' 3") so I'd love to get a seat like what you have...

    So... Jenn FINALLY has a build thread: '71 CB350

    Just joined and saw this post! I'm a newbie in every way....I take my safety course next month, and have been looking for months for something I can turn into something I love. Always been around motorcycles but I've always been a passenger. Time to be the driver! Hope to see more from this thread.
