Seems like a reasonable idea to me (not that I have any project bikes, unless you count the VFR).
But then, wodddooeyeknow...
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

I agreee with this one as well
As I have just finnished my winter project rebuild,
and have taken it for its first ride on sat last, it went very very well!
I am very happy with the result.
Mark rode this bike back in May of this year when it was still just another old black jappa. He saw what I started with, and so have a few of the southern KB'ers. Its even been caught on vidio doing a smokie
Below is my end result, only the painting and the seat were done off site, everything elso was done in a farm shed!
To be sure doing a project bike is as much about the research as the building,
finding those parts that are going to enhance , not just fit, trying to get the overall perspective of the project looking right as a finnished job.
All respect to those of you who spend the $$ and buy the after martket bits that do the bllng thing. But a project bike IMO is different in that the end result is often a labour of love with no added value being put on the bike.
So whos got this years project bike ready for this summer .
Here is mine, my profile has some more pics, including the smokie

Double shot!!
If you want to make a page about your project, just blog it. Project section not a dumb idea though.

Is that not what the blog section is for ... if you check that out Trudes and others have used to for their project bikes in extremely good fashion!

Yeah, its just it isn't really on the main forum as such.

They are cheaper if you stop falling off them. He he he he .
Good idea. Even fairly basic 'project' mods could go in here - possibly set it up by brand as well?
eg I got a grab-rail off trademe and cut & filed it down to make a set of covers for the hole when removed as I could not afford the Rizoma ones. Total cost to me was $10. Cleaned up the rear end nicely.
Hornet lovers will also notice in the picture a non standard turn signal and modified muffler outlet. Yummy.
Double shot!!
Link to your blog in your .sig

Good point Allan
One of the things I found whilst looking for bling parts were some really nice 6mm x 35 mm metric dome bolts, off of a Mazda DOHC Astina. They were a perfect replacement for the rocker box bolts. 26 crome bolts from a car wreaker for the total of $5!
So I looked around and found that Honda car mtrs have a lot of 6 & 8 mm dome nuts on them, these match the treads on all Jap bikes, so instead of paying big dollars for custom dome nuts from a custom shop, visit the local car wreakers and look around, its surprising how many crome dome nuts can be got for a pocket full of change.
