Title: new to the site .building a cb500f cafe
Post by: shaun on July 02, 2012, 08:32:31 PM

got this bike a bit back now and just made a start on it , the bike was sat in a garage for about 10 years ,it  was in bad shape when i got it out
but it was all there .1st i striped the engine out and cut most the crap off it for a look ,got the tank off and put the some dents in there .next job sort the rest of the frame out then mount a seat on it then start on the engine . dont no much about these bikes .spent most my time on bobbers and choppers and putting bike engines in scooters .just got my sportster cafe racer on the road , but always  wanted to do a honda ,love this site loads of good info  8) 8)

A nice line in Featherbed production you have going on, including a decent frame jig, I'm jealous :P

Ahhh...  (penny drops)

I saw a Hinckley Triton at Netley Marsh last summer. Looked awesome with a Trident 900 motor and a featherbed frame. I remember thinking how much work had gone into it.
