Vintage Grumble Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 With all this talk of bobbers and brats, and my being bored at work, I thought i'd kick off my project thread. A few months ago I purchsed a 74 CB200 off TM, its from Chch, and is currently being stored by my Cuz, who will bring it up with the next house lot of furniture he brings up here. I'll be going for your classic bobber/brat look, so hopefully it will end up looking something like this: Now I just need to wait for it to arrive/save some money/finish some other projects, lols.

anglia4 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Shit that looks tidy! I see your cb also has the same horrible disease as mine. humungosindicatorsandbrakelightitis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 Haha, yeh, they are pretty huge! Heaps of small after market stuff out there tho, will get something period(ish) correct hopefully. My cuz told me its pretty mint, apart from the pipes are a bit ratty (they will no doubt change to make it sound more like the bike below/one of the reasons I got a CB, they have to be one of the best sounding 200's around!). I know the tail light lense is cracked and the brake lever is snapped off, due to the earth quake the last owner said, but thats all very minor stuff. Its had a full top end rebuild also, which is good! S9e0rMB2lI8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
