Honda-SOHC

This isn't day one on this project...it's actually day 365, but it's still as it arrived in the back of the sellers van a year ago. I wasn't ready for a new project as I was still midway through renovating my 1960 Triumph bathtub and that has just gone through the MOT so job done and nice she looks too! So looking ahead to the 500k my idea is to start again from the tread up. It's obviously had some work in the distant past as the rear swing arm has been braced for additional strength so possibly been raced but not for many years as it was in someone's shed since the early nineties so the story went. I have started tracing the electrics and marking these up for easy reference for when it all goes back together which I'm hoping will be this time next year or earlier if everything goes to plan and i get plenty of time on what will be my Saturday morning project....work and home life permitting. I have a definite idea how things are going to look on this bike. The frame will be reworked with short tighter upright onto a loop saddle to fit the contour of a fibreglass single seat with hollow seat hump. I want an extended and knee contoured tank ( will look at 500t to see how this fits the frame as these have a longer profile) I want the bike to look bare from the engine back so inventive designs in the electrics dept will be the order of the day ( any suggestions here are welcome) as this will make the project either a success or not. I will post pics as the bike hopefully progresses.
