Swingarm was yesterday’s goal. New bronze bushings and stock Honda shock bushings

Got the frame back from the powder coater today. Pictures cannot capture how mice this color came out. I am super excited to start seeing this come together.

Currently on vacation and my powder coater sent me this. Just a little tease of what’s to come.

The Texavina seat from Vietnam came in today. It seems to be really good quality and even though I just put it on a bare frame, It looks like it will sit real nice on the bike.

Up for sale is this entire lot for the low low price of $450. 68 CL450 Frame 71 Cl450 Roller 73 Cb450 Frame and stuck motor Pictures speak for themselves as to all thats included. Located in Milwaukee, Wi

Went ahead and put a coat of paint on the engine. Used Duplicolor 1615 which was pretty close to cloud silver. Also ordered all stainless hardware for the motor. Once I get the powdercoated pieces back, the motor is going to look pretty sharp.

Also made the plunge today and bought my first Cappellini part. Probably the cheapest thing they sell but it was cheaper than buying NOS

Will do. It left Ho Chi Minh city 5 days ago, so we are probably another 2-3 weeks out from it being here.

Been stalled just a bit waiting on parts, but have accomplished a few things. Paint scheme has been chosen (I'll surprise you guys when it happens), stuff dropped off for sandblasting, and the engine has been (mostly) degreased. I also got a new GoPro so videos will be happening very soon...

See any parts you need, just holler.

This is the latest update. Got the wheels torn down for powdercoat and the new handle bar components assembled.

The two big parts orders came in. I get home before my wife does so she doesn't need to know about these...

I decided that I wanted to try something a little different than my previous builds and go with a Texavina seat. These are made in Korea and supposedly bolt right to the frame without and modifications. Should hopefully be here by mid-August.

Time to show where this thing earned its name. Just a few of the parts ordered I've made in the past two weeks.
