To all the CB fans who said it couldn't be done. Pics

So here is what I did this weekend. It is a 72 CB350 with an 87 Yamaha FZ700 front and rear end, KZ tank and Yamaha XS tail. It will get CBR rest sets and a custom seat. I have had CB "experts" on other sites say that this could not be done. Frame is too small, Steering stem to small..blah blah blah. Suck it! Anything can be done with enough thought and will power. Later

my ugly mug

looking good ,i like that tailpiece better than the kz650.

Looks good. More attarctive use of the parts than say an irrigation pump or a sawmill

That's gonna look great!

Lets us know how it all turns out, and what the ride is like.

Bitchin'

sweet. i think it going to look good. i talked another friend of mine into buying his dads CBX. i going to help him do some mods to it this spring. i dont care what kind of bike someone rides as long as they ride.

Those are some pretty crazy swaps kawtoy. Nice.

And rattler, CBXs are damn sexy when they are shined up and taken care of, they just aren't the lightest boat anchors aroun.

What year XS tail peice is that?

I think it is an 82. I have the bike in the driveway but I am at work.

Looks good. Would very much like to see more along the way!!

I will post some more pics as I go. This weekend I have of list of things to do, or at least start to do. I need to finish the swingarm work (I had to cut out the center of the pivot point since the frame goes inside the swingarm, opposite out KZ's that the frame goes on the outside of the swingarm), cut down the steering stem, find bearings for steering head, mount rear sets, weld mount for mono shock, make seat, figure out how to mount a hydraulic clutch, make head light mounts, make fork brace, offset front sprocket and shorten rear sprocket carrier so that they line up with each other, paint, powdercoat, make exhaust and a few other things. But besides those things, it is almost done :S
