the yellow frame in the background is a 3rd CB5/4 (well, like 50% of one), with a usable front-end, wheels, engine, etc... but everything else pretty much missing...

uh-boy... its 2020 already... 

Lots had happened, but not to my CB500's though... hope to FINALLY get on them this winter...

Shed has been relocated though... 73m²... spacious man-cave

And I finally got myself a tire mounting machine... 
(mulling over it since 3 years, but at 4 people with 7 running & 3 project bikes...)

Any objections using such a device on the SOHC spoke wheels?

Jealous!!!

Nice looking workshop you have there ST1100 I see you are in living in Wein - Osterreich.

I was born in Klagenfurt in 1948 I came to the UK with my Mother Paula when I was 5 years of age. My brother & I still have family who live in Klagenfurt - I have only returned twice to my homeland once in 2003 and again in 2014 to take my mothers ashes to the Church where she was Baptised in Maria Rain.

It's a beautiful country - but wow is it expensive as a tourist I guess Honda bike parts are expensive as well - sorry if I have hijacked this post  a tad.

Lots (too much) was going on...

Besides keeping on top of the daily runners I refurbed a CX500 Eurosport, which alone took >1 year...
Interesting job, runs very smooth again, fully roadworthy, owner is quite happy though... 

Bought and fixed up a '96 ST1100, also running perfectagain, sold to a friend now...

GF's Kawasaki ER-5 needed attention, in January I got her an NT700VA (which she seems to like, won't stop riding that thing  )

This winter one of the CB500 get's it...

First official tasks:
- replaced rear wheel bearings and seal on my '00 ST1100 (as seen in avatar)
- helped my friend/co-tenant to revive his '79 Z750



After 15 years grounding it suffers issues like seized callipers and such...

Once that's a roller with MOT I'll start knocking the CB500/4s apart... and be annoying with all sorts of questions in a dedicated build/project thread 

Good luck with your two CB500/4 rebuilds and also the recommissioning your mate's Z750E - a stonking bike, I loved mine back in the early 80's and it's a rare Zed these days. In fact, it I threw it down the road wearing a t-shirt and jeans, not recommended!    Here it is after I'd fixed it up with new paintwork from Dream Machine.

Cheers, Andrew

...recommissioning your mate's Z750E...

Engine is in parts on the bench... 
He got heads, guides and seats made, new pistons are here, hunted down pipes/collector and silencers for over a year, dunno when he intends to continue... parts are hard to get for those bikes, Kawa mixing from various series/models doesn't ease things...
he's still chasing a wiring harness as the one in the bike is crumbling...

It's a shame the Lindworm skeleton  turned out to be the head of a woolly rhinoceros.
