Welcome to the site Heavies. I'm trying to remember if we have any other members living in Hawaii, can't think of any at the moment. What bike(s) do you have?

Welcome to the site Heavies. I'm trying to remember if we have any other members living in Hawaii, can't think of any at the moment. What bike(s) do you have?

Thank you for the welcomes!

I am currently working on an '81 cb900f. I am cafe/scrambler/brattting it out. Couldn't decide on one or the other, so I am trying to meld the two styles into one.... if that makes any sense. Hehe. With the terrible roads (which is damn near offroading) we have here, I wanted the high clearence and semi dual sport type look, yet the fast lines of a cafe type racer.

I have seen some cafe/vintage type machines here and there, but it hasn't got too popular as of yet. Which is why I decided to get away from the chopper/harley scene. Gotta be different, needsd something new.

I am also trying to keep the buget as low as possible and use budget tooling whenever possible to achieve my build. I am probably going to keep the patina as much as possible. I don't want a shiney chrome ball, that needs to be wiped down with a baby diaper every day... I want a useful fuctional machine, that can be ridden every day..
