Here is the bike as i got it in June of 2010. 8900 miles and ran good, but needed some obvious cosmetic work and a going over of the mechanical parts. I didn't intend for it to be a full on project, but just a simple rider. One of the first things I did was pull the oil screens, and found lots of plastic bits, which were from the front cam chain guide. So, I decided to park it until I could properly fix it.
It then sat in 'project limbo' until I could decide on a direction for it. In march of 2012 I picked up a $40 XS360 tank and $65 exhaust system at a swap meet. I decided to do a low budget cafe racer, using as much left over and used bits as possible, and keeping it simple. Basically a resto-mod cafe.
And 14 months later, here it is.
