Skye here, new to the cafe scene but always liked the look. Last bike was a Virago 750, very far from cafe material. I recently picked up a 74 CB200 that I plan on working over. I'll attach a few pics and then a pic of the direction I'd love to head with it (even though it's strictly a track bike in the pic)
The bike. $400 Craigslist find:
One of my daughters (my carbon copy) sitting on it. Yes, I plan on buying a lot of firearms soon.
Cracked perch because someone clamped the crap outa it while too far into the curve of the bar:
I think the gas in the tank was a bit old...
Sealant was poured into tank. They also got it on the cap and clogged the breather hole.
Direction I'd like to go with it:
Luckily with the guidance of a good guy here in town, I got it running well enough to get it down the road and pancake the back tire. I cleaned the carbs a bit, synced them as best we could, tightened the chain, adjusted the points, changed plugs and gas, the usual stuff. I ordered new tires (gazelles), tubes and bands. Looking forward to getting those installed. Also planning on getting some clubmans, hopefully I can run the wires without flipping out and setting the thing on fire. We'll see. Hopefully before summer is out it'll be barhopping. Granted, it'll probably be 20mph away from doing the ton, but it'll still be a fun little scoot.
