Hey Irish
Please consider this my entry for the Grinderfest. I've worked on this for far too long now, so strictly speaking its life started way before Grinderfest did.
It's a 1973 Honda CB360. It will be/is a "mover". Rego'd and WOF'd.
Started life as a pink rolling frame (see pic) and three boxes of random parts which I bought off the Kiwibiker Forum for $250. A fourth box of parts is still somewhere out there...
Most of the time since then has been spent finding parts and grinding various bits off the frame and messing about with stuff. It's been a big learning experience for someone not mechanically minded.
It's gone through various looks. Here's how it looks today (see other pic)... but still not final (are they ever?)
More frame modifications are planned before Grinderfest including re-working the seat area by chopping it out for a smaller low-slung seat... more in keeping with the Japanese Brat Style.
The finishing touch would be vintage Firestone tyres like Drakulina's bike... but they cost a freakin fortune here in NZ.
Cheers
Eel
