After recently scoring a beaut little CB360 (thanks PT) I have been kicking around a few ideas about how I want it to look and I remembered a forum I was on a while back (the uptight yanks eventually banned me...[:I] ) and I followed a build from an absolute artist.

This is his build thread and if you have any interest in cafe racers or just awesome engineering and attention to detail, it is well worth a look.

He's certainly done a great job. All looks like too much effort for me, I'll just stick to crashed road bikes, (reads: streetfighters).

That is excellent Cruise, you have got me hooked, I want do something similar now. Not sure if I will do it for a while though the missus will have my guts for garters if I spent more than a couple hundred on another bike and I have not seen anything similar for less than a grand.
