Hey everyone, I'm new here so I figured I'd introduce myself and my project. I'm Brad, 28 years old from pittsburgh, pa.
I'll be posting my progress of my 71 450 cafe build. This is my first attempt at building a bike from the frame up.
I've run into a lot of problems so far, but I've also learned a lot as well.
Here's how she looked the day I brought her home.
Here's a more recent pic.
Currently sorting out the front suspension and making a custom seat.
More pics to follow.
Here's the bike that started it all, 2004 Honda 599.
Bought it brand new with 9 miles in 2005, has about 25,000 now.
