That sir is a beautiful bike. That paint is amazing! Very nice work!. Good luck with the sale too!
for the record, I can decide which would be a better ride... the one in your avatar, or the bike. lol
Nice work, you are a true craftsman! I hope you are able to build a replacement after the sale.

Very nice job. Great looking bike. I love the tank.
My only criticism would be to try and lower and level the gauges a bit. Just my 2 cents.
Congrats and good luck with the sale.
SON OF A (*^Q$. I just saw you picked it up for $60, thats great. Classic bikes are so dang inflated down here because of all the hipsters. Its great for selling, but makes finding a good project under $1000 almost impossible

sorry, it sold on ebay last month.
The haters on this forum jumped down my throat like you wouldn't believe- I had posted a link to it on the ebay section of this forum and I was crucified there for asking too much, I guess. People said it wasn't 'custom' enough. People said I basically just repainted a stock cb200. I got all kinds of crap from senior members here too, which surprised me. Whatever. Funny thing is, I got all kinds of positive feedback on this build thread, but as soon as I mentioned I was selling it- I was all of a sudden a dick.
Funny thing is, I ended up getting the amount that I wanted, which apparently is considered "selling out" to the die-hards here. Anyways, my experience here has been soured, which explains why I haven't posted here in a long time.
On a positive note, thanks to all those who have given me positive feedback and assistance regarding this bike. It really was a fun build, but I sold it and I am now the proud owner of a brand new Triumph Thruxton, which I love more than any bike I have ever owned. The owner of this little cb200 couldn't be happier and was glad to pay me the nearly $4000 that I was asking for it, which is all that matters in the end.

Sorry to hear that people gave you a hard time when you were selling it. Fuck 'em! It is a cool little bike. I'd lower the headlight and gauge clusters, but that's just me being picky. Other than that I think it is awesome and obviously had a lot of work put into it. Don't let the haters get you down!

Dream it. Build it. Live it.
Screw the haters. Honestly, who cares how much you sell a bike like that. Most people who are looking to buy a pre-customized cafe bike aren't concerned about price anyway. Those who build these bikes are more concerned about the enjoyment of the build and being able to express themselves through their craftsmanship. Those who buy bikes that have been customized previously are more concerned with how they look and how it accessorizes their lifestyle. Let 'em drop $4000 for their fashion statement.

the bike looks great. I picked up some good ideas for my 200 build I'm going to start pretty soon.
question: how did the silicone/steel tube fashioning work for the uni filters and carb as far as performance? did you end up using the stock jets at stock settings?
I'm looking at going that air filter route. thanks in advance.
