New CB650Z cafe racer owner
« on: May 22, 2016, 11:57:36 AM »
Hi everyone, I recently bought a CB650Z cafe racer project and will be looking for advice fairly soon.  It's my first ever Honda, and there's a lot that needs doing.  I've not hung around - the engine's been stripped and is off to the blasters/polishers soon.  In the meantime I'll be stripping the rest of the bike, painting and renewing parts etc.  I'll begin making a project thread as soon as I'm allowed to post links to photos.

Wish me luck!

Colin  ;D

Thanks for the welcome  8).  I did post a photo of the project in the gallery section as suggested a few days ago, but it's still showing as 'picture not approved'.  I guess that part isn't moderated regularly?

Try using a hosting site like imgur.com or photobucket. Then you can post the BBCode link to a message reply so we can all see it!
