Not much progress this week as still waiting on the painter to do the frame and all metal black parts.

Had I little time so, stripped the speedo drive down and rebuild. If no one have ever seen one of these apart before and how many parts to it but, only one part number.

Where are those two small washers from?
On both ends the shaft Dan.

Is the bike on the road now Julie, I don't remember seeing any photos of it on your 2022 out & abouts. I bet that paint looks stunning in the sunshine😎.

I love the clean and simple look.
If Honda DID make a bike looking like that, I would want one. They had the chance with the CB1100, but somehow just never got it right.

Ah well.... back to the endless hunt for an exhaust I like for my 750.
