Fixin' 2 Ride - Wrapping Up The CB200 "Barn Find" and CL450 "Failed Cafe Racer"

Описание: Failed project motorcycles. It is a story all too common for us craigslist cruisers. "It just needs a carb clean and a battery", the story goes. If it could only be so simple. Over a year ago here at CMC, we decided to take on the two classic craigslist projects, a 1972 CL450 "failed cafe racer" and a 1975 CB200t "barn find", to see just what it takes to bring a vintage motorcycle back from the dead. Those ambitions included not only a running and driving motorcycle, but one that performed well, was safe to ride, and was reliable enough to be a daily driver. 

Follow along as we cover how the motorcycles have been running for us over the past 500-mile shakedown. The work never is finished on a vintage motorcycle, it is something we over here at CMC love about them, but it is something everyone who picks up a vintage motorcycle needs to know. 

Be sure to check out our Fixin' 2 Ride wrap-up article that covers what we've learned from the CB200 "Barn Find" and the CL450 "Failed Cafe Racer".

While we initially set out for the lofty goal of $1500 each, that quickly became the background focus behind the safety, reliability, and performance of our motorcycles. Check out our budget and part break down to show every part we purchased for our CB200t "barn find" and CL450 "failed cafe racer" and where to find them for your builds.
