The CBX Long Bike

Started with a 79' CBX pile-o-parts I assembled last summer from three laundy baskets and a cardboard box into this rat bike to the left of this writing here on the profile page. Time to scratch build it now and I've got a long low look in mind for the "gang of the six". See below. Found a boogered up prostreet style digger frame for an HD that never made it to the road, probably because of some issues that I have now resolved. 200mm tire on a sohc Honda hub in back and a 21" HD up front running a 120 with a 12 over Ultima 61mm inverted front end. Gonna be around 11 feet tip to tip! Lots of fabrication, from the one off frame to modifying for the CBX motor and sohc Honda rear hub to creating fenders from unfinished shells, bars, seat, mounts, forward controls, unique integrated light and plate designs, sissy bar and all the little stuff no one sees but is needed to make it all happen. Doing a bit of custom work to the motor including adapting a modern alternator, oil cooler, simple wiring harness and modern controls. Gonna powder the frame an weathered copper/black wrinkle vein color. Probably super high gloss black tins with the patina copper color in the pin stripes. Not sure though and gotta make the motor pretty too, just haven't decided what yet.
