Simply print this image out pull your coloring tools and pencil out and go to town :) (I print out 5-10 of them before I start)



FYI the bike used is a CB350F but I'm sure it would work well for just about any other old CB.

Hope this saves some time, and gives you some new ideas  :)

Here's some different variations I threw together, if anyone has a certain model that looks much different and wants me to do one just let me know. What model, and what you want done. Enjoy :)

No Rear Fender/Seat:


Blank Front Forks, No fender/seat.


No Bars, no seat, no rear fender:

Glad you guys like  ;D If you feel like it, I'm sure me and others would love to see what you've done. Keep in mind this isn't chip foose stuff but really helps get an idea across.

Have fun,

Along the same lines, and without meaning to steal anyone's thunder, here's a frame drawing that I did in Microsoft Word using the vector drawing tools, each part of the frame is made of grouped components, you can ungroup them to remove things you don't want or to plan frame mods ( *gasp!* ).

This drawing is 1:10 scale, and based on my setup of 19 inch front and 16 inch rear wheel with 12 inch shocks.  Here's a JPG version.



This was based on the following dimension drawing, I traced over the lines and adjusted the drawing to be dimensionally accurate to scale:



By taking digital pictures of my various components then performing the same tracing process, I was able to mock up my bike digitally.  This is accurate enough to tell me that if I proceed as planned, my resulting trail will be too much (7.1 inches):



I've attached the original DOC file, authored in MS Word XP.

Nice, hopter!

I busted out my busted copy of photoshop and did the same thing for my bike.

Just slapped on a double bucket seat here (and a close match to the bars I now have on it):
