« on: December 23, 2008, 04:18:32 PM »
Hey everyone. This is my first project. (pics to come soon) Im working with a very nice 72 cb500 in running condition. Have a hardtail kit that im hoping to get welded on asap. Still tryin to find an old harley sportster tank thats not goin to bankrupt me. (anyone......) Goin to strip off anything that doesnt make it go or stop.

Got the kit from tc bros choppers in ohio. Seems to be a nice setup. Its universal, but ive seen them used on cb 500s and 750s and they look great.

+1 on the PICS.

I wanna see what that hardtail kit looks like.  Maybe you could document the install for us???   ;)

you can send tc bros your frame and get them to do all the fab and welding for you. it only a 4 hour drive from pittsburgh to liberty center. just call them u and drive it over. they would know best.
