The chrome looks to be in pretty good nick - are those the original unobtainium header pipes?  Good luck and have fun!!!

Give us a clue as to your restoration history Andy.

With pictures of course!

Matt,
Sadly the chrome looks far better in the photos - one of the things I'm unsure of is whether to just polish to a reasonable 'patina' or rechrome / replace the chrome bits. Wheels, mudguards, chainguard etc. all have minor pitting overall and some more rusty areas but at first glance still look quite shiny. Not even sure yet if they are all original so a bit of thinking to do!
Header pipes are I think original and in decent condition but no silencer in the pile.

Cheers,
Andy

Thanks Steve,
Been stashing away bikes and bits for quite a few years while work got in the way of doing anything with it all.
Now finally getting a bit of time and have so far done three nut and bolt restorations - CB1100F, GSX1100EZ and most recently a GS1000S - hopefully photos attach OK for these.
Always loved the big 4 cylinder four strokes but keep forgetting how bloody heavy these beasts are to move around and work on!
Cheers,
Andy

Some cracking restorations there Andy. I think the Honda just about wins for me as a result of the colour scheme and the overall looks 👍.
Good luck with the 400/4 jigsaw, it looks to be all there (or at least the 'big bits' are)! Ask questions if you need any advice or pointers to any recommended suppliers or specialists and photos, photos, photos please of progress 😉.
