And it fits.

As Milli would say  "I'm pleased with that." Even though it's taken me 30 years to get around to the job.

I'll get it powder coated some time soon.

Just need to see if the old number plate can be copied to save drilling more holes. I have 3 brackets here and the holes are all over the place.

Any one know if this is possible to get the Honda logos and dealer name put on a new plate, or remember them.  Sadly closed and  a derelict site now.

I bought all my bikes from Coupland's back in the 70's / 80's. Curiously I spoke to Jim Morley who owned Coupland's only yesterday. Jim will be 80 this year, and sold the business just over 20 years ago now.  Unfortunately the people that took the business over did not make a success of it hence its closure fairly soon afterwards.
Jim still does rebores and a few other things, working from home. He has done all my rebores (about ten now over the last  30 years), and will be doing another CB750 set in the very near future.

I am sure Piki on here could copy that sticker for you

Yes I  have fond memories of Jim and Mick who ran the parts dept.  Sure Mick looked forward to me turning up on a busy Saturday with a long shopping list where he had to look on the microfiche  to get the part numbers.   There was another senior chap who never seemed all that happy can't remember his name though. Less happy when he hurt himself  showing off kickstarting a Norton Commando.

Jim also sold me a new CB200 as my first proper bike and took my battered FISE in exchange.  Wish I still had it now.

Even though it was out the way a bit the shop was always busy.

Regards
Dave
