I wasn't thinking about taking it out on a date. There are some nice parts to be had off it.

That's a right ballsup.

Probably look a bit odd made out of angle but I'll give it a go.  ;)

I was lucky enough to find one on ebay for £20 a while ago.

Deep in my pile of stuff is a swing arm I removed off my cb550 when I first bought it, needs proper shock mounts as what is fitted looks a bit blue peter but I'm thinking it might be a bit better than scrap as I first thought, had some pretty decent taper rollerson it if I can still find them.
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock

I like the finned rocker covers - are they a Honda item...I've only seen them on Triumphs before.

Probably not worth 300 for those though..
