Hello All,
I'm looking for advice and general guidance. I love custom bikes but am really particular with what I like but have found 'The One': http://www.kineticmotorcycles.com/honda-cb500550/
I have always kept an eye out for custom bikes and the last I owned was a 67 Triumph Bobber but have never seen for sale anything like the Cafe Racer in the above link. After approaching some custom bike builders here in the UK and being blown away with price I've come to the conclusion that the only way to get the bike I want is to build myself.
This is my first potential project and would be based on the Honda CB so I would like some feedback on whether a build like that would be achievable. My initial thought was that the swing arm/seat would be the most difficult bit but turns out that Kinetic sell that actual mono shock swing arm and seating loop so that would be the route I would go down. Any help/suggestions appreciated.
Thanks in advance
