77 CB200

[mascis]

Hi All, I'm new on here and about to start a CB200 cafe project, are there any members out there who are doing something similar, looking for photos of what you have done, any help or advice you can throw at me, what to do and what not to do. Just generally get things started on the right foot. Living in Ireland with crap weather and not a whole lot of spares or suppliers local to me. Thanks

Re: 77 CB200 is now CB 250 G5's

Unfortunately lost out on the CB 200. The good news I picked up these two beauties more or less for the price of one in Wales over the weekend. Both are 1976 CB 250's known in Europe as the G5, they were only produced from 74 to 76 and they are rare enough especially stateside. I will be doing both at the same time and will start a thread soon, the idea is for one to be a cafe racer the other to be a brat/bobber type thing.
