Hey Tin, I think I pulled that pic from one of TurboGuzzi's 500 build pages...
I'm digging that set up myself... Ive got a message into him now, an I'm hoping to hear back soon from him. Look up his thread, not a bad read, but English isn't his 1st language.

Or I stole it from a blog "in the same vain as that" somewhere in the blogespere...

I have a CX sitting in a guy's backyard waiting for me to pick it up. I have been dragging my feet beacuse I wasen't sure what I was going to do with it. I now have a few ideas! ;)

I've only seen one or two that pretty in my short span of 18yrs digging the sickles...

If you know where look, there still out there..... Saw one in a shed once... almost made me cry to see her in that tattered shape.... She now has a new life and and is WELL cared for... 

But man, I was born in the wrong decade,,would have loved to have seen the hay days...  ;D

My best guess is a well modified 70's CB 360 tank,,,Or just a really good one off...
Its ok,,,, Ive been pining for one myself...

lightweight racer  :)

You know, some times just because you can do some thing does not mean you should. Even if you could ride that why would you? It can't be a good experience at all.. Well maybe it would be fun taking off from a red light.. ;)

ok so up to this point  wrenchmonkees can do no wrong in my eyes ... all of there KZs are outstanding , they have really pushed the Brat style into the mainstream with flying colors (imo)   

that is .......  untill now


NO ... NO  ... NO  .. just .. just  WRONG
      i'm all for doing new things ... but dressing up a Commando in a KZ's clothes  looks god awful ....to me

 





not to say their aren't parts of it i really like (like the neck , and some other little details)  but as a whole , it just doesn't sit right with me

I don't think the beautiful organic lines of a Norton motor fit the brat-style very well. That's just me, though.
