Last night pimpm3 text me. I think it took less than 10 seconds to respond. So far this is all I know. Going to pick it up from a friend of his tomorrow.
Better picture.

That's not a motorcycle, that's a box of motorcycle.
In reply to maschinenbau :
Lol so far I see everything except gas tank and seat.
Could be a Rebel. Looks awful familiar to me.
One of my long term builds.

In reply to CaprockFabShop :
That looks real nice. Did you build the frame?
In reply to Stampie :
It's a modified hardtail from Voodoo Vintage, but everything else is fabricated in-house. I love building bikes even more than cars. ;)

You know how when you go to check out a vehicle you get there and say oh E36 M3 those pictures were taken years ago? Not one bit in this case. The crate was exactly same position including the wheel leaning against the side. Lucky for us he has a skid steer and loaded it up on the trailer no problem. Now she's home.
I opened the crate enough to get the VIN and not only does it end in my birthday but we ended up with an 1986 CMX450C Rebel. That's right 38 nut vibrating horsepower. Unfortunately no carbs or tins. Now gotta figure out how to title it and what we'll actually do with it.
In reply to Stampie :
A larger scale version of this, but using Honda power & Lotus front suspension.
In reply to Pete Gossett :
Not the vision I had in my head but probably much closer in how it'll end up looking.
Those early 450s are pretty good bikes. Different frames from 250cc models but still some aftermarket support out there. Pretty sure the carbs and tins are on eBay in various conditions. Titling it shouldn't be too hard, depends on the state. :/
I've had visions of a asphalt-spec Legends car or similar small racer. But Cafe and Bobber is the direction most Rebel builders go...

My first motorcycle was an 82 CM450 so I was happy to find this has the same basic engine. I have all kinds of ideas but an adult big wheel had been in the back of my mind for a while. To many projects means I'll have plenty of time to think about it.
