Short intro
« on: March 03, 2006, 01:46:08 PM »
Hi, cant find a topic with introductions but i'd still like to make one, so here in short.

My name is Mark from the Netherlands, 24years old and last week bought my first honda.
I drove Yamaha Diversion (wich i named my car after restyling it and needing to sell the bike) BMW GS650 and BMW 650Scarver. But for almost 10 years now i wanted to create a streetfighter build out of a classic honda frame and setting. Now i have a bit of space I got my Honda CB650 from 1980 ;D (working only starting problems) for free from a collegue because he was to lazy to sell it or take it to the junkyard :-\. I stashed in my storage room en started linning with craon and later with a anglegrinder ::)
It had a big-ass plastic front with a big-ass window so that needed to go rightaway :(.
Now I haven to strip the bike down to the bare frame and clean the entire engine because of the corrosion on the engineblock :(.

Below some pics of a days work 8) (if i can get them on that is) with should give a general idea to were im goiing wit the design

P.S Im sure ther are more people from the Netherlands online so let me know so we can possiblee share knowlegde, parts etc.

O for I forget, the nick Blue-ace is the name my wife gave to the bike, me wanting to cut out the ace of spades out of the fenders and side pannel and painting the fram blue

hallo hallo,

leuke moto die 650. Al zou ik hem toch even afstomen en ander kleurtje geven. Streetfighter look begint al goed te lukken ;)

Nice!

Hey, welcome to another 650. Looks like you're starting out at about the same place as me. Have a look at my website (see signature) - I've just started to strip down my recently purchased 1979 650.

regards, Phil
