1975 CB200 First Build!

Hi Guys!

Just got this bad boy off of craigslist for a nominal fee and can't wait to start working on it. The previous owner was on his way to converting this bike into a cafe racer but got lost along the way so i am picking up were he left off. Some of the parts he left me with are some universal rear sets and some pea shooter looking mufflers. Once i find a way to mount the rear sets and get the cabling plugged in i think i could have it running.

So my first question i have is what is the proper name for the clutch extensions that will be needed for the rear sets, more specifically the part that connects to the clutch itself (it looks like people just cut the current one and drill a hole through it and if this is the common way of doing it i will as well)

Just a few updates since i started. Ordered all the missing cables and other misc parts, as well as built a proper bike stand. Started removing the paint off the old tank and was thinking of using bondo to fill the gap left by the plastic tank pad.

Anyways a few pics.

The shifter arm can be purchased here http://www.dimecitycycles.com/vintage-cafe-racer-caferacer-bobber-brat-chopper-custom-motorcycle-transmission-parts-offset-shifter-shaft-02-5000.html. I had some gussets welded on for the rearset mount points.
