Here is the bike I've been rebuilding since Christmas. 95% of it was done by me in my garage, lots of hand fabricated bits and pieces. I'm dropping it off for a final tune up early next week and if all goes well, I'll be on the road within a week or two. I'm pretty excited to be wrapping up. I built it to be a cafe racer with a lot of Japanese bobber and bratstyle influences. The details are pretty boring to the outsider, so I won't bother you with them. But I've got a bunch of pictures here.









































I know nobody cares and I said I wouldn't bore you with the details-- I guess just so I have to think it through and write it down, here's what was done:

-Semi-Gloss Black Painted/Polished Engine
-Chopped Tabs on Frame
-Chopped/Welded Bracket on Rear of Frame
-Semi-Gloss Black Painted Frame
-Custom built & upholstered Seat
-Custom built Battery Harness w/Leather Strap
-Custom Headlamp Bracket
-Custom Welded (by me!) Taillight & License Side-Mount Bracket
-Flushed, sealed, & clear coated cb450 tank, custom fit to frame
-Clip-On Handle Bars
-Wrapped Exhaust
-Pod Filters
-Custom Chopped/Welded Foot Brake built for Rearsets
-New Headlamp, Taillight, levers, turn signals, grips, bar end mirror, top triple tree, fork boots
-Removed About 50lbs. in extra parts
-New Avon Roadrider Tires
-New Steering Bearings
-Semi-Gloss Black Painted headlamp, shocks, kickstand, chain guard, turns, tail light, side mount bracket, shift lever, foot brake lever, controls, front forks
-Epoxy painted wheels
-Carbs Re-jetted by Poor Bastard Cycle Works

Still to be done:
