The CB was originally 450cc but we are replacing it with a 500cc engine.

Lacing up the wheels

Wheels came out nicely.

Wasn't sure about the old school color scheme but the maroon and orange-red look good.

Had to stop working on the Honda so my friend should finish up this bike on the lift.
Its a Bonnie engine and frame (mostly) with a Harley softtail. Take a look.
