vermont in fall? foliage is the selling point. And BFD tells me there is a ton of antique shops up there. Ladies love antique shopping. I might bring the missus....
CB160 Racer

I've seen it done on other forums where a guy will post progress pics of a project. Others follow along and give him words of encouragement. These encouraging words inspire him to get off his lazy ass, bundle up in his carhartt's, and bravely trundle over to his unheated shop space in the dead of an Ohio winter to work (and, dare I say, to dream)…
So here's what I got so far:

160 triple trees are also now off to have the 160 stem removed and pressed into a set of 350 trees. Thanks for the advice on that one.
Let me know what you think and call me gay if I stop posting updates.
Honda go sideways!

Champ, a little help for you...
horn = suonata di clacson
speedometer = tachimetro
fuse = fusibili
exhaust = scoreggia (peto) <- Make sure you yell this one out real loud after someone toots.

This is really a great Topic thread....I know that this post is old now, but can you, krapfever or someone, give me a little more specs of the aluminum plates taken from the CB250 Hawk? What model year could I find these plates? and is there a CL250 model year for the cablestay/kickplate? I am starting to build my racer CB160 on paper first......it seems that the ergonomics of this rearset setup is not as extreme as I have seen in other setups!quote:Originally posted by krapfever
Ok, a long overdue update. About a month and a half ago I swore I’d have her fired up by the 4th. She’s come a long way, but it may have to be Sunday before she starts.

The aluminum plates are from a CB250 Hawk; rearsets are basic Tarozzi’s.

Check the cable stay/kick plate—its from a CL250 and with a little cutting it was a perfect fit. What you can’t see is some machine work I had to have done to the footpeg. The threaded stud was too short so it was cut off the back and the footpeg was drilled and tapped to accept a bolt from behind.
