phil read/honda britain
« on: July 09, 2015, 09:53:33 PM »
well, it's a start...



this is the beginnings of a phil read rep that i recently purchased. i'm picking up a honda britain in a couple of weeks as well and both will be worked on side by side, although priority will be given to the britain as it's all there, so i'll post progress as and when.

I think John White (whitylfc) is keeping a register of all the  Phil Read and Britain replica's. He is a member on here but I don't think he's active. You should be able to contact him here  http://www.cb750f2hondabritainoc.co.uk/  He is a good source of information on these. Cheers Roy.
