Funnily enough I agree with Trigger's comments for exactly the reasons he gives. Not looking for sympathy just a warning to be a bit more careful than me before getting involved in expensive restoration work. However, I wish I had known about the apparently vast number of headlamp brackets going spare 'cos I spent a lot of time looking for the bloody things and I couldn't find any! :(

 You can buy a new set of exhausts for a CB750 for the same money!!! and most enthusiast would still baulk at that......come on get real.... I really do feel for you although you seem to be taking it well to the point of actually defending the chap,  but I presume you didn’t start this thread because you were over the moon with your purchase.... its bad enough having to shell out large sums especially on the run up to Xmas, but just about bearable if you are getting value..... I did it a few years ago when my BMW turbo blew up..... but £1500 for a pair of refurbed headlamp lugs is not value for money. Anyway, the forum exists to share advice and information, promote good suppliers and expose bad ones... so why not share the details of this reasonable supplier, I’m guessing he made a decent job of them?.

If anyone needed to find a classic restorer from around this area they could always drop me an email.

I don't care who he deals with or what time it takes, after looking at them his first words should have been do you know what I charge and what they are going to cost.  >:(

They were from a 1972 CB500 Four. The repair work is excellent, not so sure about the finish but that's that. I decided not to name the company for all the very good reasons you give. It's only my side of the story and without the other side giving their version it can quickly turn nasty and spiral out of control. I only posted it as a reminder that life can be like a greasy cucumber; you think you have a firm grasp and next second your eyes are watering! ::)
