Moorey:
Welcome to the forum.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Welcome Jerry to the forum there is a raft of expertise here.
I watched the auction on TV of the "Broughs of Bodmin Moor" held at Stafford Bike Show in 2016 by Sotherby's - over £300k for a double rear wheeled pile of rust Brough - an Austin 7 engined example I think it was.
New meaning to "hard to find" parts.

Sorry Jerry but that’s just not good enough
You can’t write about CBX and 500/4 restorations without providing pictures!
You need 5 posts to add pictures so just post a few replies on here.

I must agree.... for a first restoration of any model, having the thing as complete as you can get and in one piece makes life a lot easier. Basket cases always seem to lack small but expensive and hard to find knick-knacks that don;t manifest themself until you try and bolt it all back together. Having a rusty worn out part means you can always repair or refinish.
Plus I find making rough old parts live again is so rewarding!

I too like restoring parts. Chrome parts are something I have tried to avoid as there are few places local to me. Most other things come up well in the bead blaster and then paint. Attention to detail makes this sparkle I find.
Cheers,
Jerry

You forgot to add expensive to the hard to find having just completed one :o

Paul,
Indeed. I've been checking out prices for original pipes for the Suzuki and hoping that the ones on the bike will last.!!
Cheers,
Jerry
