Thanks for the add
I have just purchased a '72 CB500 four, which I intend customising into a Hailwood rep
Rationale being, as a pensioner, I will soon be too old to bump start my current Honda, so will retain the electric start on this one!
A million questions running through my head, but fitting the Hailwood style fairing over the sticking out alternator, without cutting a hole in it, will be my first challenge....
Current bikes are:
1972 Honda CB500 Four K
1972 Honda CB350 K4 (see avatar) that I restored from a wreck
1974 Yamaha TZ/RD250 (looks like a TZ A twin shock but has an RD aircooled engine)
2014 Royal Enfield Continental GT535 (for going to the cafe on)
2019 Suzuki GSX-R1000R ('cos every pensioner needs a 200bhp Superbike!)
TT & Manx Grand Prix fan, first attended in 1976
Other hobbies include: Paragliding, snowboarding, unicycling, skateboarding, chasing women and drinking beer

Here you go:
So I'm not hijacking the forum, by posting a Yamaha, my K4 is behind it and the picture on the wall is inspiration for my CB500 Hailwood rep

When we lived in Southport there was a chap who had some CB77 stuff from me who was into building race rep stuff and had one of Joey Dunlop's 125 race bikes upstairs in a bedroom. I got a lot of 350/4 stuff from him just in time - it was already in a skip at the back of his house. Might be able to assist with the beer drinking but as for the women chasing - I won't be able to remember why I was chasing if I ever caught up!
Welcome to the forum!
