Honda-SOHC

That's looking great - I like the Delkevic exhaust system presumably SS as well.

FWIW you might find the spongy front brake improves with use or even overnight whilst standing - on my 400 & 500 as I used repacement DS master cylinders the lever has amost zero free travel.

I have also used Silicone fluid in both systems using a syringe to push fluid up from the caliper until it appeared in the reservoir - nipped up then filled from the top. I have to admit it took some pushing  on my 300 cc syringe.

I did wonder if J-B original cold weld (2 part) would work as an alternative as I have some left over from a previous repair job?

That's a real bummer, is it the original petrol tank?

Mmm mmm not as stylish as Bib& Brace lol🛵🛵🛵

It was very stressful at the time within 5-10 minutes of the fire starting we were homeless. The flames through the rear of the roof were a good 20 ft high. Three Fire Engines were used to fight the blaze. One Fireman was on a platform directing the water hose onto the roof, a second and third were wearing BA sets putting water inside the loft through a hatch on the landing ceiling whilst a third eventually entered the rear bedroom.

Due to the volume and weight of water all the ceilings in the rear half of the house collapsed. The fire started at about 7.35 pm, they were damping down for a good three hours. Due to the toxic fumes  inside the house it was a week before we could have the contents cleared and put into storage. When I entered the house the following  day  later to retrieve our car keys I was violently sick on exiting  the kitchen. Wendy lost all her clothes that she kept in the rear bedroom that was used as a dressing room so the next day we had to shop for undies etc.
We lived in rented accommodation until July 2018. With the fire being in November 2017 the building contractors were not appointed until late January. A temporary Tarpaulin was fitted over the rear half if the roof a few days after the fire. Drying out took the best part of 5-6 weeks with Industrial Dehumidifiers.

I did have a photo my Dad took of me all togged up one Sunday afternoon in November/December 1967 as I was leaving for Chester - Mum was in the background quietly telling me to be careful as she held back her tears.
The photo of Tony reminded me that I also wore a pair of huge brown Gauntlets that almost reached my elbows for winter riding - pulling the clutch in & braking were extra heavy to overcome the leather reistance. I'm pretty sure they were ex-AA Patrolmans.

Sadly no photo as it was amongst those we lost in our house fire in Nov 2017.https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/derby-news/police-involved-case-littleover-home-783750

. The Chihuahua I am holding in the photo in the link was Percy RIP, the one Wendy is holding is Mitzie who was pregnant at the time - she is still going strong at 10 yrs of age - we kept two of her Pups.

When you are a male  over 70 years old everything gets harder except for one thing.
Blokes over 70 know what that one thing is.😁😁😁
