That’s my 1978 engine rebuild. 

Where did you get that Ash? I’m not on Facebook.

I’ve probably posted it on here at some time in the past 16 years.

I think there were two pages though.

Plus,

When I was at Uni, £46 was five weeks money.

Equates to £265 in today's money.

I remember buying new CB400F handlebars from Peters of Hull in 1978 and they were £12.(£69 in todays money)

Thats a six fold increase in cost - by contrast my income in 1987 compared to my income today as a pensioner has increased twelve fold so in reality its cheaper for me today than it was in 1987.
