[QUOTE="oldmodman, post: 13945534, member: 10303"] Very nice! I'm so happy to see that there is still some creativity in the bike world. I especially like the simple and classy paint job on the tank. I built my first cafe job from a 60's Honda 450 twin. Built my own rear set out of sheet aluminum stock. The last bike I built was a Z1-B (1975) that I turboed and built the motor. Got 330 whp out of it. Not bad for 1979. Modified the frame, added 6 degrees of rake to the neck. Converted the neck to tapered Timken bearings and the swing arm to needle bearings. handled and ran great. Remember when there were entire magazines dedicate to home built and modded bikes? I still have a bunch of issues of Big Bike and Street Bike before they both stopped publishing. [/QUOTE]
