Hi guys
I have just bought a Honda Snotter, aka CD200 probably mid-late 80's as a project bike.
Well fifty quid for a bit of amusement.
Engine turns over and looks intact. I have had the rocker cover off and it looks typical Hondaishness in there(New word of the week?), wiring loom ripped to bits, no carb, no lights no exhaust.
I fancy making some kind of custom thing out of it.
Does anybody have a manual for this potential classic bike.
Plan A is to get it running, then chop it about a bit. I think a flat tank style thing with big wide bars and a saddle maybe a fishtail exhaust. Kind of thing Rodders would have hacked about the jolly old countryside on in the 20's chaps.
Plan B, tear the sucker to pieces and chuck it in a few boxes as raw materials. I figure if I get 12 hours of fun out of it it is cheaper then beer.
Also a chance to have a play at doing up an old nail and not doing any harm if I dont get on with it.
I will get the snotter photographed in all it's glory at the weekend.
Chunko'.
Note to mods, is this ok in the brew room
