There is still a good deal of work to do on the little Honda, but I am already thinking of the next project.  The big Moto Guzzi drum will be laced to a 21" shouldered rim and stuck between a set of shaved 41mm panhead legs with slightly narrowed wide glide triple trees for some serious stopping power.  The grey Wassell tank won't go on the CB450; its tank just wasn't around for the mock-up below.


The chrome fender is marked "Chariot Cycle - Made in England."  I will probably use the Wassell fender, but the chrome one is neat too.



Now I just need to find a straight leg panhead frame and an engine.  Small details... :)

Latest Mock-Up

It actually looks like a bike for the first time...



Not sure about the rear fender, and the triple trees and risers could be trimmed up.  It seems like a lot of work for a bike that doesn't look that far from stock, but I'm happy for now...
