Honda nighthalk/twinstar 140mm drum race inspired: $140.00?

Been Around the Block
I had this drum setup and figured before I go to town on a 160, 180, and 200mm drums I test out the tooling on this drum. This isn't programed cnc work. This is me and my time and my love of working on motorcycles. I'm building sub 200cc motorcycles and happen to have this drum. With the work put into it i'm thinking of asking 140.00 for it but i'm really not sure what to ask and who is interested? Make a reasonable offer if you are seriously interested in it. It still needs some more work. The finned area needs to be cleaned up. At one point it was spray painted a few different colors. Will I played around with a bike I was building and figuring it out. Tape it up and get it sand blasted? After I did the work I wire brushed it on the bench grinder and then hit it with 240 grit sand paper. The mesh was put in there to test it out. It isn't permanently in there. It's dollar store $1.00 strainer that I cut up that I happen to have sitting at the shop. I'll include it, and you can finish the drum and epoxy it in or decide what you want to do with it. There is a link of pictures of me working on the drum. I used this drum to test out some tools that I own before I start working on my other drums. With in a few months I will be doing a bunch of drums and powder coating colors, clear, or chrome etc and either selling them or building complete rebuilt rim setups. If you are going to nit pick and want to see it cleaner etc It's a little dirty in the spoke holes, I'll clean it up a bit better but it was done properly in my honest opinion.

Maybe one of you CB125/cb100/Sl125/cl125 guys want to make it work? If I remember correctly when I did have a plate for it (was accidently tossed) it would not quite fit a pre 1979 Cb125 frame fork without machining the spacers and possibly the plate/drum a bit for clearance. It should fit a Sl125 fork setup which use 31mm forks vs the 27mm forks. It should also fit a CB200 fork, SL175.

If you really are interested in it I'll take it with me to the salvage yard and test it out on a few bikes there. Joe should have a plate that will fit it and plently of forks to try it out. However the length I will go to keep people pleased is pushing it. I'm listing a lot of information on it.
EBC listing for 140mm drums that should work. 15mm bolt. 140mm 25mm or 140mm x 30mm max will fit this drum.

A good plate for it should be CB250 nighthawk or a CM200T twinstar If you have a nighthawk or a
