Bulla101 0 Posted November 14, 2011 Hello Guy & Gals, My names Andy, i live on the Isle of Man and im just about to start a Cafe Racer build using a 1982 CB250, i know im gonna be looking for mechanical tips and advice at some point(s), so i thought where best to get some tech tips but a biking forum, anyway i collect the bike on wednesday night or should i say the box's of bits and ill be getting stuck in, if any one is interested in this project ill be happy to post pics showing progress. I ride a 2009 Fireblade normally, hard not owning a sports bike when you live on the Isle of Man, 37 miles of race track on your door step!! but just fancied having a dabble with somthing a little less upto date.Well i hope yopu guys can give me some pointers if i come unstuck with this project.CheersAndy [left] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
