Hey motorheads,
This is Kim from Belgium and I would like to start off introducing myself.
I don't have a CBX yet, but am trying to get my hands on one.
The goal is to create a good looking/good sounding bike that can do everything (daily commute/trips in the weekend/the occasional trackday).
With the recent approval of my wife and 3 kids (which is always necessary) I finally got the green light to start my project.
I was thinking about a Z-model, different front end, different swingarm, with a 120 in front and a 170 or 180 rear tyre, cafe racer-style.
This isn't the first cafe racer project I have started, though it is the most challenging in my opinion.
I already got some great help for Frank from six4ever.be and together with him I'm conviced the right base will be found.
A decent forum, a great heap of motivation, some courage, some hard-earned cash and I think we'll get there in the end!
Wish me luck!
