Looks like a Gus Kuhn tank to me. But don't be surprised if I am horribly wrong ::)

Wow, really nice job there! I do not normally do much postning but this time I had to. I love every inch of it!

Thanks Ronny, I am currently working on making her even cooler! (atleast I hope so!) I live in Sölvesborg, the place everyone stops by on their way to Sweden Rock Festival 8)

Here are some old pics of my lady. Not nearly as nice as yours, but I'm slowly working on that. She is currently in pieces and the engine resides on a desk in my bedroom. Thank god for understanding girlfriends! Hope to have her all done and running again by spring!

Welcome Ronny! Have been lurking around your builds and adventures on hondatwins for quite some time! Also had a great time reading about your journey through europe. I'm also from sweden and proud owner of a '69 cb450 K2, which is currently getting some slight modifications done, man I love...

That looks like a fun little bike to blast around on! Welcome aboard! :)

Hi Andreas! Good to see another swede getting into cafes! ;) I was in your situation some time go. I had no idea what so ever on what I wanted, and I really tried to force a decision on what bike to get. But about the same time as I got outbid on a "lightly cafe'd" cb500 and was about ready to...

If I'm not mistaken that is "spidermans" cb450. If so, the rearsets are tarozzis mounted to the stock passenger peg mounts.

Congratulations on the new ride! I'd love to have a thruxton, every inch of that bike appeals to me (except maybe the turnsignals :P ). And considering the fact that you are obviously able to build BEAUTIFUL bikes, this one should turn out just awesome! Good luck!

I was really bored today and did some research and I found some posts here and there that said that they did about 70 mph on flat ground back in the day. Don't take it from me though, I wasn't even around "back in the day", but that's the numbers I found :)

Jag är inte säker, det finns säkert fler svenskar här, men inga som jag känner till. Får nog ta och undersöka det här närmare, kan ju inte bara vara två på hela forumet! ;D

Välkommen! Klart läcker XS650 må jag säga! Jag började tro att jag var och skulle förbli ensam svensk på DTT ;D

Thanks guys! DC74inc: I was kinda going for a bit of a punkrock look, so your comment totally made my day! And for all it's worth, copy anything you might like, we are all here to share! ;D

Well, I have now taken care of the cam timing issue and everything is lined up properly and the valves are set to spec. I must have done something right because now she starts on the first kick without any trouble whatsoever and runs PERFECT. Used to have the well known high idle issue (around...

Re: SWING ARM STRETCH, 76 CB360, How do you like it??? Actually, I think the red on the engine works. If I only saw the engine out of the bike I would wonder what maniac painted it all red, but in the bike it really works with the other colors somehow. Again, great work on the bike :)
