sick bike those early 80's CB's really rip! great motors! the GSXR conversion to the front on the CB's is actually for the most part a bolt on (you need to fab the streering stops) but it allows you to get some MONSTER brakes on that sucker! VERY VERY cool build man! great bike! i need to get my tail in gear on mine! still not done

This thread has really been inspiring. I really want to start my own build (bobber) but don't have the room right now and payin on my new sporty which I want to pay off in about 2 years.

What kind of cheap budget would I be looking at for a first time prodject?

nope... ugh i know i know. i got the wire harness back...again, still did not work, but i was lucky enough to meet a fella that had an old STOCK harness so he sent that to me and i just got it on Fri of last week. but i get married this week so i will not have time to get it done, one of my buddies is re shooting his car white next weekend. so i took my tank, side covers, and seat into his shop and he is going to lay some real paint on them for me when he does his car... that is pretty cool! bottom line is i HAVE to get this done when i get home from Greece! i want to do my st bob and can not tear that apart untill i hae something i can ride!
