New shop project


I sold the Black and Blue Bobber and picked up a '76 CB550 as a new project.
I've always wanted a cafe racer, so this will be the platform to fulfill that.
I've since torn it all down to the frame and am awaiting some bits to get going on the modifications. More to come...





So this is where I'm at so far. I have the new rear frame on, and the mono shock work done. I also got the new front end mounted. The tank on the bike isn't what I'm going to use, it's just there for some reference.
I did add a slight kick up in the rear of the frame.
Overall I think this is coming along very nicely.

The rendered pic is my idea of a finished product. It was done by the Wilkinson Bros. Sure helps my vision along.

CB400 cafe tail




Here is the nearly finished CB400 tail section from the previous post. Minor touches left to do in these pictures. Since then, I have finished it and delivered it to the owner. He will be having everything painted and looking awesome in no time I'm sure. Can't wait to post pics of it on here when it's finished.
