Absolutely love it and very impressed with how quick you've got it done!!!!

By the way, what are the mufflers you are running? Any drama getting them to seal with the stock collector box?

Here are the mufflers. There were a straight forward and perfect fit.

Well, it's been a huge week or so with the bike since its return to the road.

The weekend after my first midnight fang, I joined the Pipeburn and Sydney Cafe Racer crew for a mighty 400+ klm jaunt to Kangaroo Valley. http://pipeburn.com/home/2013/2/11/pipeburn-and-sydney-cafe-racers-group-ride.html

As a new rider I kept myself clear of the experienced riders and cruised along at the back of the pack. All in all the bike ran really well despite having to haul my ass around. It was a great experience with a great group of guys!

I also managed to snap some glamour shots recently for a feature in Australian Cafe Racers. The blog was released yesterday. Feel free to check it out here. http://www.australiancaferacers.com/blog/2013/2/24/1981-cb250n-cherry-bomb.html

So that concludes the tale of the "Cherry Bomb", I hope you guys enjoyed the ride!

Now that I recieved a new full time job today after being laid off 3 months ago, it's time I finished my first true two wheeled love, "Thor's Hammer", my XS650 hardtail.

Saw this on ACR the other day.

Awesome build, gives me some inspiration for my own CB250T build!

You have opened my eyes to the ugly little cb250s.. You built one heck of a ride!

I love you how worked around the not so easy frame design and made it look great..

How does it ride?
