So I've been working on this bike since January. I use this forum for help but never post so I figured I'd share my build.
I found this bike on Craigslist with 60,000 miles on her running and had a valid inspection. Needed lots of work but that was okay since I was planning to rip it apart.
I took some dimension and drew up a rear cowl. Found a fellow on the forum to build it for me
Metalandspeed did a great job and super fast! He sent me daily updates
I purchased a cx500 tank off eBay because I like the shape. Kinda round and has a semi tank dent. I then got out the orbital sander and went to town.
I received the tank and laid it out in apt.
That weekend I stripped bike a bit and tried out tank and seat.
Wife having a seat
At this point it was time to have a friend do some welding for me. I drew up the rear loop filler, oil tank, Electrical box, rear set plates for the CBR rearsets I purchased off ebay. I loaded it into my brothers trooper for a 2.5 hr ride
