Hi all
I have been a lurker for a while here now, but have been yet to post
I started racing Moto cross at 4yrs old until 14 (gave up due to cost), then at 16 got a Road bike Aprilia Rs50, then 17 Traded up to a Aprilia RS125 (great bike!) which i also tuned up and since then had a sports bike of some description on and off. But i have always had a hankering to build "something". So now at 29 time to pull my thumb out and do it
I picked up this Honda CD175 for pocket change, my first plans where to just use the frame and tank but soon as i got the bike home and got it running i liked the sound of the engine and the look of it so engine is staying - yes its gonna be slow! ha but this is a excercise for me in building something
Well Her she is
Plans are upside down forks with clip ons, motocross swingarm, external res twin shocks, spoke wheels probably super moto rims, and some engine tuning
Proably turn out a frankestein love hate thing, but iam going to try have fun building it, using stuff i can find cheap on ebay etc.
Will update as i do stuff
