the mighty CG, out on the road

[pepperami]

Not very important in the big scheme of things , but my mighty little cg is now taxed, insured, and new MOT .
i just took it out today for it`s first proper outing on the road since 1984 (the bike that is, not me)

obviously it has had many new parts and it is old, but it`s been fun !
Even though i know i`ve put a lot of effort into getting it roadworthy, it`s still scary taking it out properly for the first time.
only did about twenty miles, but that was enough

another steed saved from the scrap heap

Aww well done pepperami!!!

I am going through the same process myself with my CG.

Do you think you could upload any pictures of your bike?

did you know it is possible to ground the foot-pegs when cornering on a CG shame i did`nt do it on purpose

thing is, she is good for 60mph anytime ... not bad for an old lady

That's one really tidy CG!
Mine was 1999 and had it in 07 and it looked like shite compared to yours.

i have a ZX6R but i want to keep it in good order and not pull it around to much.
Soooooo the plan was? to have a project bike (a big large single).
like an idiot i went and got an XS400 .

this came along after i had parted with cash for the XS, but it was to good to miss.
even when it was in it`s tatty state i could see it was fairly sound .
i know why i like them, it`s because even a klutz like me can get them back on the road, and if you shop around parts are reasonably priced, and they dont drink gallons of the liquid gold.
you dont need to buy any super special lubricants or oil to keep them going either!

keep us updated with you re-build

Had 2 CGs, one is being rebuilt just now into a new frame.

There's a LOT of bodging been done, but it's getting there.

First CG - 1999

Second CG - 1993

Not much left to do... - 1993 CG parts in a 1999 frame

That's one nice CG though.

Take care of it
