Looking really good besides that shift seal. I particularly like the stripe on the tank, looks great. In fact it's given me some ideas to play around with on my own bike, and see what works. Also, more displacement is never a bad thing.

I can't say what's needed for rego in QLD (I'm a NSW boy), but as far as the mods go, pretty much everywhere is the same. Leave them until the bike is registered. Even though you're only doing a few it can get complicated, if the bike is standard when they see it, getting rego is a pretty easy...

Very tidy, look forward to seeing it with the new seat.

Welcome! I'm a 250 rider myself (Australian learner). Got some pics of the GN?

Thanks 4eyes. caught up with the SCR guys last night, tried to keep up in my daily cage (the hyundai in photo 2). Not a chance, even the 125 can pull away in that traffic. Just another reason to get my bike on the road, bike vs car in Sydney is no contest.

Loving the brembos. As for the wiring, hang in there, it will all be over soon and then you'll not have to worry about it for years.

Re: Another new guy Thanks guys. Well, here she is, my CB. I'm actually struggling with it a bit at the moment, as I mod pretty much everything I buy. Maybe it's that it's a new toy, but I honestly can't think what I want to do to her besides wheels. She'll get some extra go as well, but...

Re: Another new guy Thanks Joeyputt and... joeyputt for the warm welcome. So I figured it's time for an update. So after my "I want an SR" idea, I went back to put money down on the bike, but decided to see what was new in the bike shop a few blocks away.... Long story short, I walked in...

Looks good man. Some nice subtle mods that enhance this ride beautifully.

Re: Ground Resistance: What do you think? How have I not seen this bike before? Oh. My. F***ing. God. Love it. I would love to build something like this, but at this point in time anyway, don't have the talent (maybe one day, but I won't hold my breath). Can't wait to see how it looks when...

Call me wierd, but I actually kind of like the stock wheels in this case. Not so much when the bike was stock, but with the changes now I think it gives it quite a nice look. If you had to change, I'd say put a bit extra in and go the wires, but that's just me. The rest of the bike looks great...

Love your last bike, and very keen to see how this one goes. No doubt you've got the talent and the vision as it looks really good so far. Can't wait for the next update.

Looks interesting for sure. I'll be keeping an eye on this bike.

Almost bought an old 3 series myself, instead I put the money towards a newer (2001) Hyundai. Mistake...

Actually, thinking now, the price of shipping would probably cost nearly as much as I can just find one in Australia for, sorry to bother you. I'm too used to working on cars, where parts cost stupid amounts. Still, looking forward to seeing more on this bike.

Welcome, looks like a nice bike you've got there after a little work. I'm another young guy with a love for old machinery, that Lincoln sounds great too, is it in the cages section yet? Also, still got that fairing? It looks a lot like the style I'm going for, after a little modification.

Almost bought a Calais once, but the front is a little too square for my liking. It will get the walkinshaw lower kit though, purely to reduce lift and drag. Not sure of the coefficient of drag stock, but Brock's Group A had a cd of 0.41, the walky was 0.32. I figure it's worth the ugliness...

So I figured seeing as I can't post a bike up yet, I'd put up details of my current cage project. I have a daily too but it's not worth adding. Google white Hyundai Elantra and you'll get the rough idea. The Commodore is an 88 VL Berlina, that has been stripped to within an inch of its life...

Looks great, nicely done. As for the sound... makes me want one, badly.

Really liking what you've done so far. I wasn't sure how carbon would look on a cafe racer, but you've shown it looks great. Might even consider some for my own project now. Keep up the good work.
