Awesome project, I bet its fun as heck to ride!

Did you go through a 55 gallon drum of elbow grease? Looks like it. Man, I'm all inspired. I want a cafe project now. You bastard you.

So.. you need to.. dumb down those rearsets or something, lol.

I've been combing the intarwebz looking for a project. Found a few CB 750's, but I already have a bloody fast bike, I want a fun toy bike.

Yeah, I can find eleventy billion of them, all 500+ miles away. 2 close by. 1 is really nice, which is not what I'm looking for, and the other is a 750.

lol, "lacks power on the top end".. Perhaps thats because its a carbureted 360cc motorcycle from the 70's?

Go wave $500 in $20 bills in his face, load it up, and drive away with it.

I've got an '82 CB900F Super Sport. Thing is rediculously fast for being 80's engineering. Thing is a tank though. Heavy as hell. But it's fun. Even with my fat ass on the bike, it will still pull up the front end if you crack it.

Hi wildbillhatchbac.
I followed your build in the other forum before I found this post. I'm waiting a mod to approve my registration on the other forum so I thought I'd
