SELF INTRODUCTION: I own a custom fab shop, and build choppers in my off time. I like to build differant from the norm, no cookie cutter stuff, no bolt ons, foot clutch, hardtail, and loud. My kids help me build, they learn how to run the equipment, and we get quality time together while they build some skills.

Or in others words, the Japanese whore that gets me by until the other one is done.........

Wasnt really looking for another bike, but watched the price drop on this from 1200, to 600, then 300, so the wife bought it for me for my birthday. Cb400 with 10 over forks. Came with 3/4 of another bike.
By the time I sold off a bunch of the spare shit, I was into it for almost nothing.

First thing was to get it out of the clouds.

Big big is over 9' long, this one is 8'1"

It came with a set of 650 wheels, so they went on, bigger drum out back, took a ton of monkeying around to make them fit with sleeves and spacers, and the front still isnt perfect, but it works.........
Drill a bunch of speed holes.

Originallly I slapped some upside down bars on, built some controls, and kept the cobbled together hardtail, front fender out back and some chain to hold it all together.

Image

Didnt like the big tank so scooped a 50 tank

Image

Slapped some paint on everything, and a cop pillar spotlight for a headlight

And this is kind of a stock to now........Makes me chuckle.
After I was done, I tallied up all the receipts. Cost of bike, brand new tires, paint, consumables, tried not to leave anything out............And barely broke $600.

SELF INTRODUCTION: I was on the last board as bonustoolkit. I have changed that to my given name.
I started a project build there " File and Fit." I paln to continue that when I go back home in Dec. 2011. I first joined the board when Gary W had it in the year 2005. That was the time I really gained an interest in building chops. I have a long way to go, compared to some here.

I want to build a springer for it, maybe once I'm done the other bike. Would fix the geometry issues I have with the rake.
For now its fun to ride and was cheap, so the hydraulic will stay untilI geet around to it.
