Honda-SOHC

See what I mean?

Let me just have a word with the personal banker and see if I can redeem my Christmas voucher a bit earlier this year and I'll get back to you on the frame. I's looking favourable tbh as it now seems there's not a lot left of mine for what I want to do on the build.

We're already in talks

Yeah, but that was a Motad, i'd do that to get by to a Mortad, he's done this for aesthetics! This is a Honda part and one thats 40 years+ old.....What was he thinking???

I presume he had the wrong glasses on or had been smoking one of those left handed cigarettes or something as nobody would say that looks good! I asked him and he sad it was the look he was going for???...............Really

I didn't have the heart to ask if it was the bodged, doesn't work, sounds sh*t and looks a bag of bolloc*s  route?


Some folk!

Apparent;y they  weren't damaged before he took a slitting disc to them.................

kinda nice isnt it? and achievable with what Ive got, can get and can do!

Not the tyres though, form over function..............not for me, ok for a catalogue maybe but not on the road

  It kinda does but I just cant

It goes against everything I stand for in the world of 'bodgery'

Goes well with the expertly fitted pods on the carbs and the surgically 'cut and murdered' exhaust pipe!  I cant believe that somebody thought that looked cool????eeeeeessshhhh!

Most of what I need is there but there's heaps missing and some stuff that is just shagged and needs replacing. I'm looking at it as a blank canvass although due to budget and parts available including time and all the other things taken into account when tackling things like this, I have a rough thought of what I want out of the bike and what I can achieve in my current situation and it's probably going to be something like the enclosed if I can. Classic yet with some nice bits on and some improvements to get over the sh*te thats been slung at it.

I've all the lights now, wiring kit, motogadget m unit, indicators, and switches, just working my way down the bike gathering the gubbins I need to make a start. I've the engine to sort and get underway and whilst thats out for blasting etc I should be able to play with the frame and work out whats what. Like I mentioned earlier, I'm of the opinion that I might as well refresh the whole motor so its gonna be bearings, seals, o'rings and a fat order to Trig n Julie for some bits and bobs in the coming 6 weeks. The 400's nearly done so it'll be a move round in the shop and get her on the ramp. The Long Haired General has agreed that to give me a bit of room, I can put the 400 in the hall way for the winter.........nice!   What a great girl
