That is my 75 CB 200T. Purchased bike not running from a cool young Italian guy in Staten Island. Garaged for 6 years.
Clip bar addition and Engine was rebuilt by a close friend, flew him in from LA. He has a shop in Cali making custom bikes and hot rods privately. He recently sold his Ducati to raise money to break speed record on a CB750 CAFE at the salt flats.
Remainder of work was done by me. Electrical system especially. Currently living in China for business, bike is in storage again. Upon return, planning to remove air filter, paint tank to solid silver and find a method to better balance dual carbs. Bike starts on first kick start,everytime. The starter button worked for a while, but has gotten funny with repeated use. Might simply remove and go with simpler toggle/kick start when moving battery under back seat.
Fun little toy for the city! Thanks for taking the pics.. See you got a new project yourself.. Cafes are the sh.t.. But are not for the push button and ride enthusiastist.. You are not just riding for fun, you are running with the pride of keeping it alive.
