Hi I'm restoring a 72 CB500/4 and a 72 CB350/4, a 76 CL450 twin, as well as a CB360 twin, so my leisure time is mapped out for this winter.
I'm from Weymouth in Dorset, I am a Scuba Diving Charter boat skipper, I'm not married and have no children, so I have no competition for my time.
I've completed the cycle parts on all the bikes, and now have to do the engines, that's the fun part for me. I've fitted LED bulbs in the indicators, and tail lamps, as well as the clocks, with the exception of the turn repeater which I left as an incandescent bulb. The headlamps are traditional incandescents for now.
I've bust a cylinder stud on the 500, and a PO has snapped off a bolt in the 350's sump. Apart from that, so far there are no problems that haven't been overcome. The Carbs were full of something organic, and it wasn't dinosaur bones.. ....I've fitted new tyres, new exhausts, 8 silencers and down pipes..that hurt my wallet! New seats, wiring harnesses, and loads of parts.... Still have to paint the tanks and side panels.
I'm glad to be a part of this forum.
Nigel.
