(1/7) > >>

I've just totaled up what I've spent so far and I haven't even started putting the bike back together, £3220 and I still have an exhaust system and all of the tyres chains brake pads ect. It soon mounts up. [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Golden rule of these old Honda's is NEVER add up what you spent on it, you'll have nightmares!

It's going to look great when it's done, so worth every penny. Anyone who thinks that a high quality restoration can be done for a handful of shrapnel will soon realise that the words 'properly' and 'cheaply' do not go together these days. Keep up the great work.

A big +1 on that.  All my David Silver,  chroming receipts etc went straight in the bin.  Knowing I spent so much would take the shine off the whole project. 

It's like if beer was £5 for a pint; wouldn't be as enjoyable.

I agree.I spent well over 3K rebuilding my 125 YAM.
Just enjoy it
