    Help with first build - fender/suspension

    I'm nearly done with my 1970 CL450 build and have hit a roadblock. I was planning on chopping the rear fender and realized the gap between the fender and tire is huge and I don't like it. I assume what most people do is go with shorter shocks? And then I'd have to raise the forks in the...

    OK, I'm gonna take the plunge. Need some advice...

    OK I think I've saved enough dough to do a build I've been wanting to do for quite a while.

Since my back is a bit shot I'm going to go...

    New guy thinking about first build...advice?

    Hello world... I've been lurking for a couple years thinking about doing a restomod with a cafe flavor. I've been riding a majority of my life, currently own a BMW K1300s and a KLX250s. I have basic mechanical skills and am willing to learn. If I do this I want to do it right and start off...
