Honda-SOHC

Excellent job.
Could see it winning a trophy in a custom bike show.

I'm hoping so!  I just applied for entry into the Twisted Iron show in September.

Great individualistic features. Like the pipes, switches, headlamp mounts. The seat is almost invisible, how was it on your longest ride so far? Makes some of us look a bit samey trying to recreate 1974. But just shows we are all sorts, but love bikes.

Thanks!  The switches are by motogadget, the headers and headlamp/indicator mounts were pieces made by RunRiot Motorcycles in Eton Wick,  and the seat was done by yours truly.  My longest ride so far has been 2.5 hours, and it's a bit stiff but much better than I expected.  If anything I'd change, it'd be the angle on my bars - they start to hurt the wrists on longer rides.
It is my daily driver though, and takes me 40 minutes to work and back.  Puts a smile on my face each morning when I kick it to life, not sure about the neighbours' feelings though....

We should go for a ride sometime!

Looking great Roger ... you have certainly learned a lot after initially posting on here. Did the coil repair work out OK for you?

Coil repair has worked a treat, thanks Ash!  I just got my Dyna coils back from the company and they say the coils are fine and just sent them back!  Interesting that they don't actually fire the bike....

Finally got some decent pics of my bike - let me know what you think.

Sounds like fun, I'd be interested.

Here are a few pics of my coil rebuild.  It's not pretty, I've still got to file back the putty but it all worked well - very pleased!
The one word of advice I'd give would be to use blu-tac instead of tape to make the barriers for the resin.  The tape allowed quite a bit to ooze out before it set and made quite a mess, however the blu-tac contained it perfectly.  It's a bit of a pain to get it all off of the resin before adding the putty but overall the results were well worth the efforts.

Thanks Ash!!

I also had to buy them separately - I was told they used to be part of the Vesrah gasket sets,  but aren't any longer.  I think I ordered them for £12 for the set off eBay.

MrT (Roger)   ...  In the write-up I used 7mm dia HT cable PVC HT cable  with multistrand core. Problem is I bought it off eBay a couple of years ago and trying to track down the seller. There are loads of sellers but I would like to include the source I used.

I got the same type off of eBay, along with the appropriate ngk resistor caps.  I didn't realise about the need for dielectric resin - glad you warned me!
