On the road at last!

The bike looks great. I still think (after 40 plus years on) that sweeping four pipe exhaust is a thing of great beauty.....I notice that one of the bikes in Honda's present line up emulates it......so Honda obviously think the same.

Well done.....it's a real a credit to you.

Thanks for all the nice comments everybody. I'm pleased with how it has turned out.
The speedo seems to be over reading, I'm thinking now that it may be off a different model. 🤔

All speedos over read, as long as its inside 10% its legal

This is more than normal. In traffic at an estimated 40 - 45 mph it was reading 70!

That is a bit excessive mate, possibly faulty rather than wrong model though

That's a really nice looking bike. Well done. Should top out around 160mph when flat out, impressive.

Lol! I'd want better brakes if it did that! 😁

Very nice ,simple clean lines .

Where did you get the seat from and I'm looking for one in that style  for my special

It was a pretty ropey Guiliari seat with a rusty base and torn cover.
I shortened it a little at the back and reshaped it then got a local coach trimmer to recover it with a foam hump. I think it looks a bit too big overall but it might grow on me.

Thanks ..looks like I'm going make my own too

Keep it for the bragging rights - "Hit the ton on my way home from the shops... again..."

Seriously, it looks fabulous!  Another example to add to my "maybe someday" collection...
