Well after being inspired by a few builds and thinking jesus we could do that sure! We have ended up with a 1979 CB550.
Fancied doing this as I used to Race karts professionally and my Dad helped Fund and Spanner and support my Karting career. We stopped around 5 years ago and both miss something to tinker at so that's why this came along!
When it's finished i will give it to him I think as a thanks for all he has done for me.
They are becoming quite rare now and I was going to buy a fully built and running bike to chop but funds weren't around and I didn't want to pile a load of money into something we maybe couldn't finish or start lol.
So ended up with this lot!
The two good parts...
Only got it home on Tuesday night there so have a lot of sorting and cleaning to do for a start to figure what can be used and what is to go into the round file.
The majority of it we will do ourselves with a limited budget and will see where we get over the next while. No deadline so not panicking about finishing yet! Lol.
