CB 500 resurrection

Thanks, but I have to say the photos do "flatter" it.

Nothing wrong with that Gary, just needs a rotor casing cover to finish it off.

Is the left hand headlight mount bent or is it just a reflection? Not a criticism just curious.

What now? Sell it on?

Oh BTW, the side stand isn't the right one, not sure if you knew that but that would probably ground on left handers quite easily, I could easily ground the correct one and that sat far higher.

Nice job though, came out well.

I also remember your starting point….it’s a triumph(Honda).

[Nurse Julie]

Well done Gary, that has come out really, really well.

[Sesman]

I hope the PO is looking down on this and praising you. Genuinely, it’s a credit to you.

Thanks all.
Jeez oddjob I forgot all about that cover. The headlight ears are not perfect, but no it isnt bent.

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

That looks brilliant Gary I'll be chuffed if mine is 50% of that - and done in a timely fashion.

Your being hard on your self Gary, that’s a cracking looking job! Nice bike.

[JamesH]

Congrats Gary. Beautiful transformation - you should be proud

[Trigger]

I am very impressed on how quick you did that Gary for a first timer 
Just looked back through the forum project board and there are too many projects that members have been on for over 3 years

Excellent - you should be proud of yourself

Looks lovely

Well done Gary, lovely job and a credit to your hard work. I'm not a fan of brown paint BUT.....when combined with the black panel on the tank it looks perfect. Excellent job, congratulations.

My 500 is a similar  brownish colour (except faded & scratched) I have to say it is a colour of it's time - everyone was buying cars in shades of brown in the 1970's.

That said mine will probably end up Black like Simon's another colour associated with earlier decades e.g. Mr Ford's Model T.

PS I've downloaded your pictures as a reference for when I start putting mine together.

Even if the photos do flatter it, it still looks great. The colour is my favourite. Of course, I now want one!!
