friend of mine picked up a $400.00 CB250 nighthawk for his son. Kinda an ugly bike, with crappy paint, shot tires, wore out chain,leaking carb busted ignition switch. The bad news was there was no title. Luckily he knew a guy with a tow truck who could help him out.
So me and the kid went about fixing it up. We bought new tires, tubes, chain/sprockets, carb kit, Clubman bars. We made up a battery box out of sheet stainless I had, cut off the mufflers, changed the rear shocks, Put all that together, then found a nice seat in my parts pile from my sr500, hacked off the rear frame and bolted it on. The bike works really good, runs nice, goes fairly fast. The ton is out of the question, but it will run 80 wide open.
The kid is riding it everyday about 70 miles to an from work, and has put 1700 miles on it in 4 weeks.
groovy little bike......now I want one
