1978 Honda CX500 - Cafe/brat build blog

[will_nic]

Hi all,

I've been working on my project build for about a year now. It's getting close to completion and I'm pretty pumped to get it ride-able in the next few months.

I am working on documenting the entire build on my blog : www.thingsbywill.com/blog (http://www.thingsbywill.com/blog)
However it is not all the way up-to-date as the project currently sits. If you're interested, keep an eye on my blog as I am updating it regularly.

Currently I am building a custom frame for it, which should be finished in the next few weeks.

Nice work, I'm considering undertaking the same stuff with my CX so this is great inspiration. I'll check back on your blog in a few months as I'm interested in some of your final touches. Hopefully it's running good.
