I really enjoyed my CX build and with the exception of the shock dilemma (really need to have one custom made) its been a really fun bike to ride. With majority of the cost being the mono conversion I have toyed around with building a GL cafe. I've been looking periodically and they have either been too expensive to too original for me to cut up. recently I stumbled across a basket case GL already cut up, non running for $200. I figured it was worth the gamble. Messed with it for the first time today. appears to have new coils, new starter solenoid, and new plugs. coils aren't mounted (I thought they had to be mounted to be grounded?) Bike has spark but won't fire. got it to ketch a couple times and backfire a few. left plug is wet right is bone dry. Going to pull the carbs this week to see if that's the cause before ordering to much for it. Any thoughts let me know. so far the plan is a triple bypass, murrays carbs, hagon rear shock, custom tail piece and seat, tracker bars, all new bearings and seals
