AirCooled's Intro..Newbie in Overland Park, KS

Hello,

I found this site by searching for an oil cooler for a Honda 1977 F2 Super Sport. I saw a post by "rafanomenon" explaining the installation of an oil cooler on his bike (also a 77 Super Sport). I have had a motorcycle license since college when I purchased a CB450 (I think that's what it was). I owned several other bikes during my time in college and my favorite was a Kawasaki 550 LTD. Since finishing college back in 1993, I have owned a bunch of bikes. When I was single I gravitated more towards v-twin customs, but now I am married and slowly getting rid of the customs and buying old japanese bikes and old BMWs.

I live in the KC area and hope to attend the Japanese Vintage Motorcycle Club meetings as well as the Antique Motorcycle Club meetings. I have always loved the look of the cafe racers, but the thought of being hunched over was not that appealing (I even put Heli-Bars on my ZZR 1200). I decided now was the time to suck it up (before my back goes bad) and get one. I love seeing all the awesome work people do on their bikes at dotheton.com. I have wasted a few days just looking through the build section. Awesome!

Keep up the awesome builds!
 
Welcome AirCooled. I've got a '72 CB350 that I've been working on for about a year. You'll find this site helpful in restorations/repairs. Even though I'm based in N. Texas, I'm very familiar with Overland Park as I lived in Olathe for my first 21 years.

Good luck on the bike and don't be afraid to ask questions....lots of knowledge on this site!
 
Welcome! I'm just down the road from you, in Lawrence. There's a meetup every Wednesday evening on Massachusetts St in South Park. There are typically a few vintage bikes around.

Here's my CL350 project: http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=39091.0
