Well done Ted. Great to hear your news after such a well documented build we have all followed. Expect to see you with the knee down when we get a warm Derbyshire!

Well done Ted  . Crack open the bubbly whilst you trawl Ebay for that CB750 Project you've always promised yourself (or a Maico  )
Happiness is turning on the fuel and the carbs don't flood  .
Post some photos of the complete bike wearing it's newly painted suit

Sadly the 750 is far too heavy for me - I've pretty much decided the Maicoletta idea will be too much pain due to the lack of parts.

I'll never say never but - this 500 might be my last build - if I am tempted it will be something smaller or even another 400 at a push.  Space issues would mean my existing 400 would have to go. Not sure I could handle the separation it would be like getting a divorce.

Great news Ted, I'm not far off getting mine on the road now, just some small tweaks and cosmetics.
