I have never heard of sold bars on any bike.

Powder coating a frame should not cost a couple hundred bucks if you are doing a common color (i.e. Black or White or Gray). I would call around and see if they can fit you into a run they are already doing, you may have to wait longer but most are willing to cut a deal. If you require a...

The home style is good for small stuff but for a frame or other really large parts you are best to go to the pros. I was able to get my frame blasted and powder coated black for under $100, looking back, I am glad I ponied up the cash as the finish is extremely durable and perfect for a frame...

I just received my connector kit from Vintage Connections yesterday and spent last night replacing and/or installing connectors on my coils , condensers etc. I have to say I was very impressed with Vintage Connections from placing the order to the quality of what I received and how quickly I...

It looks so much better now. Nice bike!

I dont know if there is a "Proper" way to go about it. The origins of the Cafe are anything but "proper" but I suppose what you are after is the general idea... strip most of the heavy luxury / unnecessary parts off of it and get an idea what you want it to look like... after that its all...

Re: the killer KZ200 comes to life! now with bitchin new seat! muahaha I want one of those seats for my CB450.

Thanks so much for the replies guys! Tim, beautiful job on your wiring! Your posts will help out tons! I think I am going to use your diagram as a loose guide to make my own. Thanks again guys, I really appreciate it and I will post up in my build thread as I go through this...

Thanks, that is what I was kinda thinking to do but the old wiring seems like it could be more problematic and in turn more effort than doing it from scratch. Anyone wire their bike from scratch and live to tell the tale?

Ok, I have a CB450 that I am getting close to finishing a ground up rebuild on but I have a question; I have the old wiring harness, it is in decent shape but a good portion of it is electrical tape and old. I am not planning on running anything more than the bare bones (blinkers, headlight...

I guess I assumed too much but I thought Clubmans or clip ons were a requirement... ;D I did notice that I have some twist in my forks when I hold the front tire and turn the bars. Do you guys think the front fender will remedy that or is a fork brace needed?

I got some new clamps and installed a set of pro tapers that came off my CR250. What do you guys think? They feel really nice and I think they look much better than the old MX'ers I had on there. I know they are not "Cafe" bars but... ya know... use what you got.

I got the air cleaners from Go-Ped, its a tight fit but fits all the same.

Hi all, I am new here and thought the best into would be to post up my project. These are the pics I have so far and they are kinda sporadic. I just didn't stop a lot to take pics although I regret that now. Here it is when I got it, custom seat sitting atop a customized frame, cow catcher...

I am in the Seattle area, would love to meet up when my bike is complete... its getting really close. I recently moved here and don't know a lot of folks..

I dont have a tank but I am in Edmonds. Been trying to finish up a CB450 K6 I started last year. I will be posting some pics soon.
