Who's rocking a vintage motorcycle?

Damn, Bell is really stepping up. Do it dude.

Maybe I’ll buy it once my bike is completed lol.

I like number 1 and 2. I really like the super clean stock look BUT I will be more than likely painting the head black with “polished” fins on it. I think the gold (save the eye-tie jokes) is a bit too much but then again you won’t see a lot of it once it’s on the bike.

thoughts?

guessing that’s about $300-400?? (EDIT: for the helmet)

Not THAT expensive but it’ll have to wait as I’m acquiring parts for the CB at this time.

$399 for the helmet.

Which CB @GV1390? The ‘restored’ one?

I guess you could say that.

#1 all the way

He only “builds” them for the earlier CB years :confused:

then why was that a choice you butthead?

So does this mean you can’t get at all, or you can’t get stupid option one that stupid @XwalkerX chose? @GV1390

LOL @maxwell

old bikes are slow so you may as well do show>go

try putting some 200+ pound gangly mofo on an old Honda twin… then you’ll know slow!

I do like the black/gold, but the chrome/gold is my close second foshoooo

The Bullitt helmet is dope! I remember sending Gennaro a link to that a while ago! As for carbs, ALL GOLD, do it

#1 all day

I didn’t realize til after the fact that those weren’t for the pd 77-78 CB’s. I can just run the older style one’s on my 78’ but some say they are easier to tune and some say they are more difficult. @newman’s are the old style and him and @focusinprogress didn’t have issues tuning it but Nick had issues with his 75? I may still get a set if I decide what the heck I wanna do.

Those are nice. I think #2 over all of them but as long as gold was put on the bike in otherspots you could make it work.

Where did you find these?

I doubt you’ll wanna pay the price tag on them as they cost more than that bike you had lol.

Lol, this is true.

But I still like to see what else is out there/get ideas
