Very cool Justin! I like it!

However, if you wouldn't have told me that the bike had started out as a Honda CL450, I would've sworn it had started out as a Jawa speedway racer.

(...that was quite a transformation there...nicely done!)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Really cool, I would love to have one to play with. Where was the engine sourced?
