Beautiful job! That bike is very gorgeous and sounds amazing! I just started a CB500F K2 project and I can only hope mine is as nice as yours when completed.

Thanks for the kind words. I love the bike but still some work to be done asthetically to get her to show quality... its always a work in progress I guess.

I'll be looking forward to seeing pics of yours too!

Thanks for linking to this build from CR. I enjoyed watching the build from the beginning, and I'm looking forward to your blog updates.

BTW, your sig translation is much cooler than mine. My NIV says "...he drives like a madman."

And thank all of you for your comments and support. The rig is back in Cali in relatively one piece. Gonna get her patched up, add a few bits and get her cleaned up for paint for shows and just tooling around on Sundays

Some of the things I have already added:
running/floor boards
fork brace

A few things more to add:
steering dampener
cafe flyscreen
bar clip on mirrors
replacement engine cover on the left side where it was ground away by the road

I do not understand the floorboards on this bike. Not hating, just don't get it.

Most probably won't like them. I'm no purist tho.

Found a powder coater. Time to tear down.
