not really a 'fighter... but i'm broke, so it's what i got, lol.

picked this up today for next to nothing. already swapped the bars for some low bars, and took aff all the un-needed junk (signals, rear grab bar, etc) the only condition in me getting it was that i'm NOT allowed to hack into lil pieces.....dangit. oh well.

it'll actually clean up pretty nice. been sitting for a loooong time. it does run, sorta, but nothing a good carb clean and a new set of plugs won't fix.

not gonna do anything major to this one (i've said that before though) just gonna clean it up real nice and build a mild cafe style bike out of it. something with suspension to ride on longer road trips, that sort of thing.

here's where it stands at the moment (have no idea why, but someone put short shocks on the back, so the ride hieght is all goofy)

1972 honda cb350 4 cylinder

yes, in the bedroom.... i need a garage!!

im doin the same kinda thing to my 69 triumph t100r. mild cafe build

 

[dogbreath]

I'm thinking of doing the same thing to my Hayabusa. Mild cafe build.

heres a crappy pic of my crappy bike

 

[skr00zloose]

wish i would have known that a month ago kokomo, i sold a t100 basketcase for almost nothing just to get it out of my yard. i'd have just gave it to you.

i'd love to have an old triumph again someday, but not as a daily driver. the lil honda is just bulletproof, triumphs.... well, they always need "tweaking", but i'm sure you know that.

 

[skr00zloose]

i REALLY wanna do something like this.. can't really call it "mild" though.

wish i had that kind of budget. this bike is SICK.

 

[chandler]

cool bike but theres to much going on. though i love the wheels

im a big fan of cafe racers. prolly my favorite style. little 500 motors growling. racer look. clip ons . no mirrors. no gauges. little cafe tail. cant beat it.

 

[dogbreath]

Too much going on aesthetically but it'd be fun as fuck to ride, kokomo

 

[skr00zloose]

i'm not usually a h*arley fan, but that black sporty in the second pic is NIIICE.

the 750 in the last pic is sweet too. i always did like cafe bikes too. last one i did had a modern twist with the suspension, this one is going to be more traditional (which = cheaper, lol)

 

[fslflint]

thats cool as hell man. keep us posted

 

[929_adam]

i cant wait to see what you consider a mild build!


i too have an old honda project. . . 72 cl 350... in the back right and blurry..

 

[dogbreath]

Mild build for skr00z is when he doesn't do any frame welding.

 

[skr00zloose]

yeah, pretty much, lol

i have all thse visions of aluminum tanks and one off fiberglass tails though, heheh.

 

[sevenpointsixtwo]

knowing you, it'll be awesome when it's finished no matter what. Cant wait to see how it turns out.

My suggestion: Drop the headlight about 4" in line with the tank.

 

[Candyman]

Looks like fun man

 

[skr00zloose]

My suggestion: Drop the headlight about 4" in line with the tank.

already been done

need to find some stock length shocks for the rear. it looks all kinds of off with the rear end sitting so low.

I too found some nice candidates for cafe race conversion. A bit rough but they was free. Its a 305 Superhawk CB77. 1966-69

and a chopper version with just a frame and wheels

I now have lots to do this winter

:rock:
