Barry,

I have seen lots of Cafe racers built on the old CBs. I am thinking about a straight restoration for two reasons.

1. Big changes may be beyond me, yet. This is my first attempt at this, I have been watching around here for years as guys pick up these old bikes (and cars and trucks) and make them beautiful again. I know enough to know what I don't know and so I am planning on taking it slow and getting help where I need it.
2. I just love the old standard bikes. These UJMs are such a part of the fabric of my misspent youth that I am eager to see one in my garage.


Thom I might be wrong, I sometimes am.
