Hey, everyone! My name's Seth. In the Navy, 28 years old, living in Oak Harbor, WA. I've been riding for a few years and always wanted to build a bike but my knowledge was very limited (still is i guess) but I finally bought a 71 CB350 about a year ago and just started tearing into about a month and a half ago (delayed by the Navy). Where am I now? Benjie (benjiescaferacer.com) is building my seat and tank. I have the bike completely torn down. Forks are rebuilt but have to come apart again soon for paint and/or powder coating. Both carbs are rebuilt but need to be tuned. I've got tarozzi rear sets on my table. Uhhh... what else... gonna trim all the extra parts off the frame this week to get it ready for powder coating. Tore apart the brakes/hubs. They cleaned up pretty nice but I'm going back and forth between paint or polished look. So, that's where my project is for the most part. I have rough plans for a smaller battery with no starter and bare bones circuitry. Need to draw schematics. I want to make it as clean as possible. No electrical wires and stuff showing. So, that's my schpiel. Thanks for having me.

Love Bellingham. I'm actually in Oak Harbor. Easier to say Seattle I guess cause everyone knows where that's at. I'm thinking of going to college there after I'm done with this navy thing.
Think I should move this to the cafe projects threads from here out. My next update will be there.
