Teds new project a CB500 K1 mostly version 0.5 circa 1972.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Not a load of progress but fairy steps in the colder climate.
Just painted my top fork bridge clamps - I'm happy with the outcome - less than perfect like the owner - but good enough for me.

Well done Ted,
looking at that top clamp on 'the net' last night, it's clear that the PG who had my 'heap' had cut the middle out to make two separate clamps. :o He's then ground them down badly, like a threepenny bit and tried to hide it with matt paint......eeesh! ;D Theyre smaller than the lower half of the clamp they sit on he's taken that much off........Lookslike I've doneit ;D ;D
I knew they were for the bin but hadn't offered them up until last night when I pulled the bag out to have a look. They were chucked in the 'to fettle later' bin. As I'm still waiting for the frame from the coaters............Covid at their end................I said I'd hang on ;) :o I'm just prepping all the faff bits like this and sorting switches and the like...
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
So where were the four warning lamps then mounted?
Laverdaroo:
No idea, there weren't any on it when I got her, you must have underestimated how much of one it was when I reffered to it as a heap................I'm not sure anybody else would have spent this much time and money on her as I have, they'd have probably poked it back onto ebay and slithered off ;D......She was proper on her last legs, Ted.
I must be bonkers! ;D ;D ;D
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I think we are all bonkers here Roo we spend more on restoring an old bike than they are worth when completed (aside from a few Dodos). It's a labour of love Roo and we all know how stupid we can be when in love.😁😁😁
