Exiled
Hey guys. I am getting to the point where I figured I should reach out to the fine people of BARF and see what assistance I can garner.
I am building up an old '71 CB175 for my wife's first bike. It is so close to being done that I can taste. :drool But its also got a long way yet to go. Here are a few pictures for you guys since everyone loves pictures. :thumbup
What it started as:
Progress:
Wheels:
Engine:
Where it is currently:
Once the seat is finished, I will be ready for the paint stage and I really want to get this right. I have read over the sticky in this subforum and feel, well, daunted, for lack of a better word.
So this is an open invitation if someone would like to throw some personal expertise my way when it comes time for paint, or just in general. And if someone just wants to shoot the shit and watch a motorcycle come to life then PM me and come on over. I'm also open to selfless acts of generosity when it comes to mounting/balancing tires, and other jobs that would require tools that I don't have. :laughing
Also, I had no idea where to best put this thread, so mods feel free to move it if needed.
p.s. Build thread from DTT (SFW): http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=34716.0
