SOHC Cafe Racer
« on: November 12, 2023, 01:33:05 PM »
Hi,

I haven’t posted on here for a long time, but I’m not new either, so haven’t done an introduction. Apologies,

I have a CB836 F2 for sale. All the correct and Heavy duty parts used for this engine conversion. It’s an f2 using K body parts and swing arm. Front forks are GL1000. Has CR carbs. Electronic ignition. EBC front discs, Billet top yoke, leather seat. Is running Like a dream. Customised to a high standard.
£5000 ono. Which absolutely kill’s me to type this because I’ve put over £14,000 into it and very few miles. Still you live and learn. Most paper work available from work done.


I’ve copied an icloud link below for photos hope it works.

That's a great looking bike pretty sure someone who can manage the weight will snap it up.

PS I like the frame colour - others here will know why.

Usually not a fan of custom bikes but that is sweet and old school looks. A bargain.
Love the 500 and 550 have a 500 called Lazarus under restoration

Just realised that's a Derby registration number!
Has it left Derbyshire?

Nice looking custom and I'm sure it will sell at that price...

I'm pleased you are so far away - it avoids me taking a look then making an impulse buy for a bike that is too heavy for me at 75 of your earth years.

That frame is close to Nut Brown or am I colour blind?
