    A couple of months back I started a project to build a very modified CB500.....something along the lines of a Paton really.....and its just occurred to me to post some details here!
    The basic plan is my own design frame but keeping the stock swingarm (albeit strengthened a little), twin shocks, spoked wheels and Suzuki 41mm forks with twin discs....
    Its fairly well on its way now but I'll start with some pics from the beginning....

    Thanks....they're from a previous build....that was just new panels on a stock CB (minus last bit of the subframe!).
