A pic of my "A".
« on: March 11, 2013, 12:35:15 AM »
Finally got my "A" set up the way I wanted it. My first bike was a brand new CL450 in 1970 and I've always loved the way they looked but they're just too small for me now. So this is my answer to that problem. Not really the same but I kinda see the CL in it when walk out in the garage.

You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

Thank guy for nice comments. The mods I did to get the look I wanted are;
Headlight ears from a '73 CB750K with the rubber boots,
Handlebars from a CL450,
Front fender from a early CB750F,
Rear fender from a GS1000 Suzuki,
Turn signals from an early CB750K,
Chrome front wheel from 1973 CB750F,
16"X3.25" chrome rear wheel,
Lower blocks on the rear.

Next will be progressive springs front and rear.
