hey Joe, howz this project going? any pics of completed bike? haven't seen an update for a while. thought I saw it in the background of one of the Cafe seat pics. 2 builds at once? your a busy guy.
after the Sprint-Bob is done I plan to start doing similar projects in my spare time and get some experience and know how so I can use as supplemental income to my semi retirement in 8 years.
CB 350 was my first transpo at 16 and a Virago 750 was my second so I'd kinda like to do something with those. another idea is to find a 1962 (year I was born) Sporty to build...probably wont be selling that one tho

ya brother... this one is on hold... i am getting together all the powder and paint i will need to finish it up... lots of GOLD LOTS of 70's Style flake... i came across a great deal on a TX500 yamaha... so i jumped ship a bit and am just going to finish the 500 real fast so i can get it out of the shop... this will let me really focus on the 350 build... both of these bikes will show for me next year as hard as they will be ridden so i want them perfect... i have a bunch of time to get em done... my girl is my LEAD designer on the CB350... she is actually going to be the one that rides and shows it... so i have to wait for her work to slow down a bit... ill let you know when i get rolling on it... check out my other thread on here though the 500 is turning into an awesome build... this bike will be made to DOMINATE the turns!!!
