Yeah, I think an engine rebuild is a bit much for a first project. The CBX wasn't that cheap considering it's a potential non runner.Originally Posted by Daddy Cool
Here's a nice example
The guy in the Gumtree ad says he's not sure if the bike runs. If I was undertaking a first project like this , I would want a runner and wouldn't want the project complicated with engine " Foibles " maybe as a first project , a purely aesthetic strip down and conversion would be less overwhelming .
The one thing I do have in my favour is that my sisters partner does rebuild 50's Harley's and the odd Norton up in Warwickshire, so he knows his stuff, although he says he knows nothing about modern or Japanese bikes
