Re: Finally The CB200 Begins - Silver Bullet - New Pictures hey, nice work on that bike. it looks great. about the carbs...maybe post a picture or two re: the fitting of the jets. are they mikuni or keihin? I've never seen carbs on a 200 but on my 500 the slow jets screwed in and the mains...

yeah, you did... isn't that the whole point though? =) I dig the frame color...different....is there metal flake in there? what color side covers/tank/wheels are you thinking? also I dig the chrome swingarm. the bike should really pop when you get it all together. have fun with the project...

nice looking bike! I love that view from the rear, with the twin pipes. nice clean profile without any gauges sticking up above the bars. -Ron

hey guys, thanks. :) I'm just enjoying putting some miles on it...not that I can tell how many with tach only.... deacon- the paint is called "low gloss" and has that satin sheen to it. it is duplicolor engine enamel out of a spray can. the finish on the bike is not at all show quality, but...

a couple more...

hi all, this is a project that has been in the works for a while, and gone through a bunch of different looks. It stayed a 2-up bike for a long while, but finally I had to give in and make a solo seat for it. since I haven't touched it in a while, and I am happy with how it looks, I am...

sweet guzzi. nice and clean looking, and I don't just mean lack of dirt. A 70s guzzi is my dream bike, just gotta find the $$$ to get one someday. -Ron

tsk tsk tsk... no one seems to know what day it is today.............. ;) -Ron

that is a sweet bike. I've always wanted a BSA. is it right "hand" shift?

Detroit Rock- I would like to see some pictures of how you relocated your battery. Also, have fun hammering the tank! =) Post some pics when you're done. Ken- Have fun with your 550 project, I think something along the lines of a flat track racer would look cool: high exhaust, no front...

I got it from a guy on eBay, just search for "CB550 seat cover" and I think you will find him. He is in New Zealand. I believe the cost of the seat cover was 39.95, plus 10 shipping. I remember getting it really fast too, considering where it came from...like 5 days I think. It isn't a hard...

no problem finding parts for the SOHC Hondas, they're everywhere. I got most of mine on eBay, or through the local Honda dealer. Also Z1 is a good place for vintage Japanese stuff: http://www.z1enterprises.com/ the exhaust came with the bike. I know it's not stock (the headers are) but have no...

wow, that's my paint job alright. I had no idea Harley made a bike that looked like THAT. it looks like a modern superbike. What year is it?

yeah. master cylinder and front brake are off for a rebuild. =) so you think Harley esque, huh? you mean like their old dirt track racers? Didn't know those were orange and black...

hi everyone- I'm posting a before and after picture of my CB550F racer project. I got the bike in late September, and have been working on it since. I posted a thread here when I hammered the knee dents in my tank, and got a rebuild thread going over in the SOHC Honda forums. I figured it...
