Current bikes:
This is my current build. It is my first small thumper. I want something to ride with my two sons, who are also building CB100 cafe bikes. It is based on an XL100 frame with a CB125 motor.This is my main rider to date and will likely be my keeper. After owning, building and riding many bikes, I've ended up with this bike as my all-time favorite for the majority of my riding. It has enough power, comfort and beauty to keep me interested. With the latest addition of a Givi hard tailbag, it is even more useful. I can't wait to do more road trips, especially with my sons.

Archived bikes:
*This bike has been sold* This was one of my favorite cafe builds! It took me about 5 months to build and it encompassed all that I've learned about cafe bikes to date. Still more to learn and build though. As much as I love CB77's, it's uniqueness becomes one of the things I don't like. It is expensive and difficult to find parts because it is so uncommon.
==============================================
1972 Honda CB175 - The 175s are more plentiful than 160s and have a few more features. 5 speed tranny, kickstand, tach, turn signals. I was thinking cb200t but the 175 has more in common with the 160 so it has more parts available (read aftermarket stuff). It has since been sold to fund the next project. 11/09.
==============================================
1965 Honda CB160 - It was a complete teardown and rebuild in two months! But, it has been sold due to the bad economic times!
>> Sold!
==============================================
1990 Honda Hawk GT - Probably the one bike I regretted most about selling. I will likely get another down the road. A great do-all bike. My son may also get one. Fits both of us perfect. Perfect power, handling and looks great!
==============================================
1982 CB900f - She sports rims from a CBR600 (f2 and f3), new 17" Avon's, new Corbin dual seat and a CB1100f swingarm.
>> Sold!
==============================================
1994 Honda CBR900f - Street fighter project #1! >> Sold!
==============================================
New! New pics of the CR400! I was contacted by the new owner in Ohio. Has new seat, Keihin carbs and an oil cooler. Awesome!
The alloy tank is now installed! Parked
in the house 3/07.
I finally put on a new seat and painted both the seat and
front fender silver.
1975 Honda CR400 - race bike (9/03 to 10/04) - Updated pages! Well, I ripped off the street stuff and she's (again) a racer. I'm in the process of rejetting the newly installed bored out carbs. Runs great with the larger jets. >> Sold!
1975 Honda CB400r - race bike (6/02 to 10/03)- Updated pages 3 & 4! This bike sacrificed most of the good parts for the cafe bike & has been pretty much terminated. All the research and road testing it has been refined and ported to the street/cafe bike.
