LOL, shouldn't ask questions like that, particularly when you was goin to do it anywaze ;D
Have you tried seating position? CB200 isn't very big, I would have though seat would need moving back another 2" or so?

Yeah actually it seems comfy, but the way it's set up I can move it back, I still haven't welded the pan and sides,
My seats a old gas tank 8)

LOL... sorry... "Mr. Obvious" show.
That lil bike is looking good, I was just being a smart ass. You do look a little mushed in there, but if it feels good with both feet on the pegs, that is what is important.
So what about that Guzzi?
 
Seat will have to be moved back.
Normal riding position looks OK but I'm pretty sure that if you 'get down on the tank' you elbows and knees will want to be in the same place?
Backstop on seat looks like it will need to be about 2" behind rear shock top mount

Haha thanks for the explanation , it's my dads cruiser nothing super special, he said I could cafe it if I want ::)
 
Guzzi's make fantastic Cafes, take a look at some of the Dr.John BOTT bikes for full on race look
I would get a rougher looking one though as personally I don't like to see perfectly good bikes cut up although I'm pretty sure you could just do a 'bolt on' to get the look ( it worked for Guzzi ;D )

Only 2" behind the shock mounts? I was thinking more like 4" or so, he doesn't look like he's done growing yet.

Looks good so far, and as stated in another reply, color match the seat assembly to the factory tank. That tank looks entirely too clean to mess with. But, I'm old, starting to like the look of unmolested stock paint from the 70s and early 80s.

Yep, move seat back around 2" then fit clip-on's with more forward clamps instead of the 'ace' bars'
 
It's ironic. I posted a topic about using a tank as a tail yesterday. I'd never seen it done before. Looks good!
