Just build the CB you have. Personally I've never understood the sohc cafe bikes. They look strange with all that motor hanging out of the sides. I know guys that will climb over a pile of fours to get at a twin or single to build. Personally, I'm always on the prowl for old SR500s and XS650s. A well done XS will look like a proper cafe bike more than any four and parts are cheaper and more readily available. Light, skinny, FAST.
80s aircooled superbikes are already bitchin stock. Awesome paintjobs/decals, good frames (finally), and decent suspensions/brakes. If you get tired of the cb, sell it to me! I'm currently building a naked cb1100R lookalike and have most of the parts mentioned here. I just got a real R aluminum tank in from Germany ($$$) and am waiting on a few Bol d'or odds and ends and an R replica seat from Meadspeed.
If you keep the bike, get over to cb1100f.net. Awesome tech advice and they're a great bunch of "F'ers" to boot. I guarantee you'll drink the "F" koolaid.
