Frankenbike

Thinking about trying my hand at building a bike. I'm looking at creating a frankenbike I guess it would be called since I have no better name for the class of bike. Something similar to

Has anyone around here done a similar project and have any input? Source for parts, pointers on swingarm/triple tree swap, etc?

I may not post all photos from this project in this thread but I will try to keep them all stored in this album.

I'm looking at a Honda CB as a base for the project, they are cheap and readily available so if I bail on the project I'm not out a lot of cheddar. From what I've been reading GSXR triple trees bolt up pretty painlessly, my largest concern at this time is the swing arm.

I got 2 old CB's with clear titles $500 OBO each, you haul...

one is a 79, the other is a 77

engines ran (not necessarily well) when they were parked, they have varying degrees of rust

but if you need a frame with a clear title you can take all the other parts that i still got for free.
