    Too late ive already been looking for another project preferably an old honda cb jus havnt caught any luck when i find one. And this first project i got for free and so far have put about 50 bucks into it soo not much money lost at all!!!

      Love old CB's and GS's. They make killer cafe bike projects.

          Same here. I'm in my early 30's and I've always loved the old air/oil cooled sportbikes and cafe racers. I hugely respect modern bikes and their tech, but they are too "shrink-wrapped" mechanically for my tastes. I like something I can fully service on my own. A big thing I love is to "modernize" a classic. Thats what I am trying to do with my slingshot 750. Update the suspension, bodywork, and upgrade the engine. But do it in such a way that the core of the classic machine is still intact. Somthing modern, but that I can work on easily.

              Bikes coming back together cleanly and the carbs are done being cleaned thanks to arsenic for the hex screws for the float bowls they fit fantasticly!!
