The Project Begins

(1/3) > >>

ChrisOnABike:
So, I've finally been sucked into a project so far that I actually started it!  Most projects keep to the "Idea" phase and never get off the drawing board.  This time, I've taken that first step and bought the bike.

I wanted to share the "Before" pictures.  I enjoy this stuff too so I figured you all might also.  I'm always open to thoughts/ideas/criticism/suggestions… etc, so please say what ever is on your mind about this, good or bad.

I have a more than two or three pictures so I'm posting a link instead of taking the bandwidth to post them all here.  The link is to a folder in my photo gallery on Deviant Art and should not contain any kind of spam or pop-ups.

Hope you all enjoy the pics,
Chris

Crikey, got a project there. Looks like mostly there though.
Hope it didn't cost megga bucks (assuming it's a usa import).
Be nice to see the progress,plenty of help on here should you need it.

Something very strange looking with that front wheel. There is too much gap between the wheel and the mudguard. Good luck with it.

Hi Chris. Looks like a lot of work but depending on your plans should be do-able. You going to fully restore or cafe it? Looks like a Us import k2? I think the front tyre looks wrong profile / flat hence the massive gap? Let us know your plans. James

ChrisOnABike:
The build date is 6/72.  I was told it was a '73 model year.  I thought the front tire looked strange because it was just flat.  If there is any other reason for it, I have not found out yet. 

The engine and frame were all I was interested in.  It'll be a Cafe Racer when I'm done.  First thought was to build it for my daughter, but if it turns out too nice I'll have to build her a different one ;-)  I already have a set of GL-1000 forks on the way and also have a set of R1 forks.  Not sure which way to go with it yet.  I'm looking forward to this, but I'm also not in a hurry.  I'll bring this thread back and post pics as it goes for sure.
