Ok, so to top all the other problems I have going on, I found out tonight I may be losing my storage in the next couple of weeks.

Normal update service will be resumed after a brief gap once I have found somewhere to re-house. The car may have to go, but the bike is staying. Somehow...

I think the results look like they speak for themselves. Who did it for you?

What happened to the razor blade front number plate that's on the old pics and one of your new pics but not on the others photos?

Yes, I like that.

No inspiration as such from the show, no CB400's there at all, but the girl got something she really wanted, a patch she chose herself to cover the "babyish" tractor on her overalls, so she was happy.  ;D

She's officially a sohc fan and mechanic.

John, you should have tried the Bratwurst outside by the entrance to the auction. Excellent and not too crazy expensive.  ;)

John, Shifter, good to meet you both. Sorry I didn't have longer to chat, the girl was getting restless.  ::)

Drew, thanks for the yoke!  8) and thanks to VJMC for harbouring it overnight.   :)

Thanks Chris, didn't realise. Going to have a go at cleaning it all up just in case anyway.

Last one from me today. Ended the afternoon on a high. I discovered a box of bits that came with the bike, that had got buried in the move. The side panels are in there and look in good nick, other than the brown paint...

But the real bonus is... the missing bit of the muffler was in there, lovingly packed away!  ;D   :-X

Oh well. Off to Shepton tomorrow with the Girl to see what inspiration and motivation I can get.

Swinging arm is finished in a beautiful shade of Hammerite blue.  :o

My real woes are at the front end. Forks and legs are looking beyond repair to me.

I know all this stuff is replaceable, but I never set out to buy a bike 1 piece at a time and just bolt it all together, so it will be a hell of a challenge figuring out what can be saved and how. At least now I can see the rear of the frame clearly, I can start visualising how it will look with the seat and rear.

Front end woes...
