Honda-SOHC

As something a little different to the various sohc fours I have tinkered with for a great many years now, I recently acquired a 1960 C71 Honda Dream. Of possible interest / note is the fact that this a "dry sump" dream, having a separate oil tank on its right side as per the later CB750 SOHC's.
Just 4,600 KM from new and imported from Switzerland last year, based on various battle scars on its right side suggesting a crash of some kind it appears to have been laid up a very long time ago.
It came with NOVA paperwork and a VJMC dating certificate and so the DVLA application for a UK reg. is already underway. Initial plan is simply to make it whole again and see if it will run. After that, we'll see.

Immediate needs are to find a pair of handlebar switches and a left side side panel. If anyone has any thoughts / leads, much appreciated (1960 - 1962 pressed flat handlbar C72 / C77 parts should (!) be able to be used).

This is unlikely to be a fast moving project, none of mine ever are (the sandcast I bought in 1991 is still not quite finished - this year.......)

I have two pairs of UK spec (low bar) throttle cables, part numbers 17910-323-620 and 17920-323-620, which are no longer needed. Both sets are genuine Honda parts, not pattern, and have been stored in the house for at least 20 years now:-

One set is NOS still in original sealed packets -  £25 inc. post

The other set was fitted to our 1971 K0 briefly (maybe 200 miles) before I re-fitted the correct US spec high bars along with the necessary longer cables. As good as new, with perfect chrome end fittings - £20 inc. post.
