Another intro from Colorado

[Pyroladine]

Just introducing myself, modifying/rebuilding a 78. I have had lots of bikes but this will be my first rebuild. Started a blog to help track it. I have lots of dumb-ass questions to ask over time. Not going to be a very fast build, got to spread out the costs so the wife doesn't have a heart attack. I am almost 50 so have lots of life experience but not necessarily build experience.

I'm building a '78 too Brian.

Mine is going to be a vintage full fairing racer.

How are you building yours??

I don't have a set style in mind. I like the cafe seats but not the bars, I want to modernize the wheels and suspension as much as I can. Strip off all the uneeded junk: wires and brackets. Punch out a rephase the engine, PMA and Pamco or Boyer. LED turn signals, H4 headlight. I guess a modern standard would be the most likely description.

That would be a good way to go. Standards are practical, useful bikes.
