Project Board / CB550K3 - "Harry"
« on: April 24, 2016, 01:20:12 PM »
This is 'Harry', who has been consigned to the back of the garage for around 20 years.
A quick status check shows that:-
The wheels still rotate
The tyres and inner tubes hold air (after re-inflating)
The left hand mirror still reflects
The seat lock still works
However:-
The engine won't kick over
Everything is covered in rust and/or corrosion
The seat base has rotted through, as have both mudguards and the exhaust
Fork stanchions and the entire front braking system needs replacing
etc - there's too much to list.
This isn't going to be a quick job
