True Julie , i think by my reasoning if i had a handle both sides it wouldnt matter on which side i was to put it on stand , well thats the theory anyway  ;D ;D ;D

You have to be on the left as that's where the stand has it's foot lever.
Ken, you are so sensible, where would we be without you 😊😊😊

Many thanks , i might keep my eyes open for a CB 500 or a 550 if i can find one cheap enough to do next  ;D
If it's a CB550/4 make sure it an F not a K3.

Not sure if you mean my black mongrel or the blue CB550/4 F2. What i would say though is whether you go for a 500 or a 550, parts are a lot more difficult to come by than for the 400/4. Sourcing parts can drive you slowly round the bend Dave.
Edit...or was it the gold 500/4 you liked 😀😀😀

I know exactly what you mean Dave, it's got a bit of a rebellious look to it.....one like that is easy to build.

Well done Dave, that's a great looking bike.  Whilst I hope the sun makes an appearance soon for you to get some miles on it, I also  hope you avoid the salty roads with all that shiny polished chrome !

Well done Dave, that looks absolutely stunning. One day I’ll have to turn my hand to a 400/4.

Top quality work there, well done. On the sourcing parts thing, don't forget each time someone finds a rare part that's one less. Eventually all the parts will dry up and all that's left then are the dreaded pattern parts. Then nobody will be doing quality work.

Nice job.  We just need to wait for the road salt to go and the nie weather.
Where's that 10mm socket got to?
