Just noticed what seemed like a familiar profile on an eBay offering and sure enough, it was a Kawabusa, but this time it's the Kawabusa 3 Turbo Edition. Norm Wilding built two previous versions, the original Kawabusa and Kawabusa 2, while this continues the obvious model numbering sequence at Kawabusa 3, but he added a turbo.

Drysdale 1000 V8 Will be Rebuilt in New Form After Theft Recovery

Restorations to like new condition are always nice to see, but sometimes it takes a creative mind to envision something a little different and in this case, the owner pulled off a great transformation. Starting with an old and tired 1970 Honda CB350 with a seized engine, he stripped it down to bare metal and began again. A new single shock rear end was fabricated and it … [Read more...]
