That bike is SUPER clean! Nice work.
Thanks guys preciate the comments.
I have to give props to Hotfunk67 for the picture of the CB77 on the first page of this thread. If he hadn't posted that picture I may have never thought of going with the high pipes in the first place.
Now I just have to figure out whether or not to go with chrome, ceramic silver, or header wrap. Maybe someone can get creative with photoshop ;D I also would like to see what it will look like with a red frame and forks, with a silver headlight bucket, gas tank, and tail section. Or vise versa.

JRK5892 your a freakin animal running on nothing but powdercoat fumes! The T-REX is turning out sweet man I cant wait to see it completed. The shower scene was awesome. Reminds me of my single days of cleaning parts in the dishwasher with purple stuff ;D
CC man I'm gald you posted up about the 450 - I had never scene the fiberglass tank you built. Lots of inspiration man, that thing turned out sweet. Keep us posted on the epoxy sealant. If your ever up around Raleigh let me know so you can stop by for a ride or a PBR and talk bikes for a while.
Tim - were all patiently waitning for an update man - post up some new pics of the XS.

hay man. nice bike, like what you have done with it. I am working on a 1973 cd 175, making it into a cafe racer.
I have some questions for you.
first i would like to know about the rearsets you have installed, what there off of and how they are to install. also would like
to know how the clubman bars install with the throttle, do you use the origanal throttle and clutch/brake levers.
I am new at this and can't find any one with answers, and don't really want to go ahead untill i can get some. if you could help that
would be great, if not maybe you know of some one that can.
well, really like your build and would like to see it when its done..
thankx for you help.

Hey Super - the rear sets are O/E - These bikes came with adjustable rearsets - wish they would have kept this trend going...
If you have the old style throttle with the cable inside the bar, you will have to switch it out with an external throttle twist grip from a later bike and possibly different cables. Just look around for something cheap on ebay just about anything will work - just keep it honda and try to keep it in the seventies.
Good luck - Byrd
Do you have any pics of your 175?
hay man.
absolutly love your build, the exhaust is awsome. I am not sure what i am going to do with mine, yours looks mighty do able.
thanks for the tips, and am happy to of found this sight, lots of people with the same goals ( to build a nice vintage one off bike ).
any way was wondering if you could tell me how to put pictures up on this site. would be awsome to show off what i've done,
and to get some feed back.
thanx, byrdman76.
Really like the bike!!
