Newb from WNY

Hi, I've been a lurker for a while now, my first bike build was a '75 cb550 i got for a 100 that was converted to a dirtbike by a farmboy, I brought it back to operational, street legal condition, then a buddy smashed it into a ditch :-[ . Instead of tossing it, I thought why not rebuild it. Got a big pile of parts from a guy for 80 bucks and am going with a mild customization job. Custom Paint, velo stacks, jet the carbs, new pistons and rings, and pipes :D . Someday I want to do a full out cafe/custom, thats what the '68 harley is for hehe.
Growing up in the sticks, a lot of folks don't think of a bike other then a harley, enduro or dirtbike around here, I'm hoping to open some eyes. Any help from you folks will be great, I noticed that the lot of you are a world nicer and more possitive about things & bike builds then the caferacer.net guys.

Sucks your bike got wrecked, but it is nice you're building it up to live once again.


Where in WNY are you? I'm in Buffalo. Good luck with your project.
 
I'm just east of Olean. It did suck, but it's becoming better then it was before. Thats a cool kawi you have going yourself too.
