Love the design and layout of the tail and the LEDs! After reading more into it I think your new gauge dash is my favorite with the buttons, very cool man.
Are you going to PC the spokes and rims or are you going to paint them for now?
Will be watching this build for sure, good job!!

I would love to powder the rims/spokes.... but that may not be in the budget for now.... Kinda tight on cash at the moment.... BUT if I can sell some extra bike parts, I may be able to afford it!
*anybody need a cb175 engine?

well I didn't get the cb175 engine until I already did most of the 200 work.... The 175 engine has a couple oil seals that need replacing and has 135 compression in each cylinder... I know... The 175 would give me more power... Too late now.

My wife would much prefer it if I just sold it. Good engine though! I used it while my cb200 engine was in shambles.

Re: My CB200 Build - AKA "Incognito" - UPDATE "WE SURVIVED THE APOCALYPSE" DEC 2
Well, I have been very busy finishing up wiring, painting and cleaning various parts.... I have also officially completed my engine paint and rebuild!
Here are some update pictures.
Hoping to be finished painting my seat and tank by January 1st. Also hoping to have my engine completely mounted and my wiring done by the 1st as well. That means I am going to have to get started in order to get my tach/button dash milled out.
Next up after I finish paint/wiring/mounting, will be tackling the wheels. Luckily I will have a sand blaster as of January. Hopefully that will help make things less tedious.

Nice work! Where did you get the slick "power" button. Very cool.

The power button came from fleabay. It is a momentary push button led lit power switch. I think it was like $5.00 shipped. I will use it as my starter switch.

The top ring is stainless, The button itself also appears to be stainless. Everything below that is plastic, however it does seem to be quite durable. It came with an o ring that seats on top of your mounting surface to prevent water damage. The attachment points are are a little flimsy, and hard to reach. However, I soldered wires onto the prongs that extend down off the button. I then heat shrinked every individual connection, followed by heat shrinking the solder points. Seems to be quite strong now, also I am no longer worried about potential grounding faults or water damage. Other than that, I am very impressed with the quality.

Update: Rear sets are on the bike and the linkage for the shifting rod was shortened, rethreaded, and adjusted. I have also been hooking up the clutch and finishing up wiring connections. I have also done some painting on the seat and tank. I will post pictures once that is completed. The engine is now mounted in the frame. So far everything is going pretty good, little nuances here or there, but nothing major. Pictures below.

Yes they are, they work very well, but the linkages needed to be shortened a bit.

Re: My CB200 Build - AKA "Incognito" - UPDATE "Merry Christmas!" DEC 25
I have been very busy lately.
I have mounted my seat and attached my turn signals, brake light, and taillight. I mounted my carbs and built a 2 into 1 exhaust.
Electrical UPDATE: I am now almost finished with all of my electrical wiring. Everything has been working without a hitch every since the installation. First times the charm I guess. I have noticed a significant increase in the strength of my spark. Overall, updating the electrical was one of the best judgement calls I have made. The only thing left to wire up is my back left turn indicator.
Carb UPDATE: I did some minor cleaning on my carbs for now. Since I wanted to see if the bike would start, the first thing I did was adjust my carbs. I set the float heights, adjusted the air/mixture screw, threw on some temporary filters and mounted them on the bike. Some of the problems I had prior disappeared once I corrected some minor issues with my floats. My floats were mildly contorted so that they were not perfectly level. This has caused many a headache and been finally figured out as of now.
2-1 Exhaust UPDATE: It was ALOT of work. Because I do not have my own welder, I ended up running my exhaust back and forth from my shop to a shop about 5 miles away. 4 trips later and I was finished. Most of my woes stemmed from alignment of the headers. In addition, one of the main obstacles and the main reason I decided to modify my exhaust was because my rear sets no longer cleared the exhaust. Start to finish, the exhaust project took roughly 10 hours of work.
Feeling a invigorated, I decided to run a fuel IV and attempt to start my bike. She started on the first attempt. Running strong and sounding great! Hoping to have her road worthy come snow melt this spring.
Main tasks left include but not limited to, finishing the tank painting, sandblasting and painting the rims, upholstering the seat, and clear coating the tank and seat.
