Rebuild advice on the crashed bike (cadwell)
Discussion
Ok guys I am going to try and rebuild this bad boy into a track bike, but my intel on such a project is somewhat limited, from what I can gather I will need new set of handlebars (clip ons) some kind of bracket to hold a race fairing & a new rear sub frame (mine is bent), also pegs will need raising as there always grounding out & suspention will need changing as it's dire at present.
Is there anything I should take into consideration here, or anything I have missed out, or dont need?
Cheers Sam..

Surely for the price of the rebuild you could just flog off any non-bent bits and buy a decent track bike? That old CBR is going to struggle to make a good track bike unless you bung a huge wad at it - as you say, the suspension is dire, the bodywork is trashed, the subframe is bent - I probably wouldn't spend the money on it mate

And you'd need to replace the can.Mad Dave said:

What the man said, buy a cheap track only bike which will be better than your old CBR.Gassing Station | Biker Banter | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
