Molotov Cocktail - Joshua Pageau
This bike is inspired from this topic : http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=26184.0
So I started building a cafe bike this winter, it is just now getting cold so I am actually coming inside for once to sit down and start this build page.
The bike is themed around the 1960 Grand Prix Gulf racing motorcycles.
This was how it looked the first day I had it.
(This is not my picture just an example)
This is my first picture of the bike, at this point I had handlebars and hand controls.
most of the work so far has been removing components and putting them on that shelf in the background.
All of the old and some new just adding to the shelf and keeping track of parts
I took the engine out and painted it
New gaskets and seals all the way up, new boots and plugs
Polished the old hand controls and speedo, I added the brake control
Added some newly rebuilt carbs and used my friends intake valve from a cb650 as my choke pull
some of the parts out for visuals
Got it back from powder coating , polished the front forks and started figuring out the foot controls
Up on the desk to sort out the wiring, I am using all 14ga cloth wire and new bullet connections
Let me know if you have any questions, right now I need to have the wheel bearings pressed. I need to finish the seat, I also need to finish the tank
