First, and foremost; hello to all!
I am obviously new to DTT, and I'd like to introduce myself and the build.
New to motorcycles, not new to forums and being a gear head. I understand most forum interaction, so we'll keep this short. I'm 27, former aerospace engineer technician and currently moving on from my e30 BMW build to this new world of "cafe racers"
The bike : 1975 cb500t
The cost : $500
Mileage on motor : 8200
This bike was bought as an incomplete build. This is how it sits 4 days after purchase in my home. My apologies if the pictures are rotated incorrectly (using cell)
Immediate plans (ASAP)
Rewire/and connect everything
Mount motor properly (put in loose to aid moving to my house)
Source controls/parts to make run (the tidbits)
Remove fenders
Cut frame and install a loop
Find the right seat/pan
Clip ons
Custom led rear lights
Gauges
Anyway, any input or tips as to what specifically to look into or popular styles/mods would be appreciated.
In the meantime, I'll keep my mouth shut...sit back and use the search button, and learn.
Hopeful to keep you all busy with build progress!
....and Incase anyone was curious about the car build I mentioned...
