Honda CB750K5 Restoration by Royhall
Moorey:
Well it's docked now in Liverpool. No doubt the engineers would welcome the extra down time whilst at Anchor off Anglsey as systems would be available to them that normally aren't.
royhall:
The big question now is how it gets to Barrow. My guess would be by road. OOOO it's so exciting.

Mine went through exactly the same process anchored off Anglesey etc, I think this is quite normal at the moment as the docks are surcharged. It then stayed for about a week on Liverpool docks due to a lack of container lorries. In the end Billy hired a haulage contractor to get the bikes off the docks by road to Barrow.
From there he was pretty quick getting the bike to me.
In all I ordered the bike on the 23rd October 2019 and it was delivered to me on the 17th January 2020 so near enough 3 months.
Oh and this is where I am up to at the moment with it -

Another couple of weeks and I will have the engine running
royhall:
The CBX is looking good. Too big a restoration for me though. Did you rebuild the engine.

Thanks, the bike has only done 40k which is nothing for a CBX engine. It was evidently very well cared for and sounded mechanically brilliant when running if a little lumpy due to the usual carb service requirement so for now I am leaving it alone just completing a thorough cosmetic and running gear restoration. Also changing the colour to Candy Glory Red which I love.
Anyway apologies for hijacking your thread let us now how you get on with delivery, Ken
