got a little bit more done. I've been out of it for a while but I feel I've made a little head way as of yesterday. disregard the seat. that was for sh!ts and giggles

I probably will leave the gold, i've always liked that looked. I still don't have a clue on the paint scheme so we will see if they stay gold.

got a little done the other day. bought this then mocked up the frontend I want to use the rear wheel from the gsxr aswell so we'll see if I have to fab up a swingarm or what

i tried that, but i noticed that the bike has no electrical power, to the point that the horn doesn't even make noise.

took the bike out due to the nicer than normal weather. seems like I have an electrical issue. bike loses power after a riding, maybe 10 miles, and dies. then the bike is acting like i have a dead battery. but if I wait a while I can crank it right back up like nothings wrong. any ideas? I'm...

anyone want to throw around some ideas. like which modern bikes have the best donor frontends. From what I've gathered so far, bearings can be changed to except the new, different dimensions of the new setup. thanks for your help. bike getting the much needed frontend

This is how it sat after I picked it up. after putting a new battery and fixing some wiring snafus I took the first ride, I got antsy and ordered a few "mandatory" parts from dime city cycles. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised how quickly they shipped to me. big ups to them. I've already...

next question: how can i shorten my front forks? i need about 3 inches to disappear. can i cut something or do they sell aftermarket tubes?

well hell yea then. thank you sir.

the little bracket seen on the swingarm. is that for the chain guard?

yea, she said it wasn't even possible. but maybe i just asked the wrong person?

well i called the department of motor vehicles here in georgia and lady thought i was retarded for even asking what it would take to get one registered.

Ok, so I see guys building cafes out of dirtbikes and it looks like they would be alot of fun. Can you make them street legal?

no lovin'? ;D

also i found a freshly rebuilt 750 on CR for $250. good deal? and will it bolt up?

The tank's just laying on the frame. Now let's talk carbs real quick. What would be a good upgrade for this motor, but still good for the price? I was given 750 carbs. Would those be a possibillity or are they too big?

Well first it doesn't have carbs, that's an obvious problem. The dude I bought it from said it needed points and a clutch cable. I'm sure the battery's shot so I'm probably gonna order one in the next day or two.

I picked up a 1978 CB550K for cheap and found myself a bit outta my league. I've been building watercooled Volkswagens for about 5 years and decided I wanted a bike this summer. Obviously I hate stock and I love european tuning, so it only felt fitting to start a cafe project. The bike doesnt...
