Renovation Time
florence:
wonderful and it sounds like a bargain. Being an evil and wrong-headed person, I would ride it like that and forget about the original tinware. I might change the rear lamp though to a lovely BSA one I have on my cb350 at the moment.
I reckon I would gladly sell both my CB500/4 and my CB350K to buy something like that but I'm sure that wouldn't raise enough cash and I am banned from spending money on bikes as I have 'too many hobbies' as she who must be obeyed puts it.
Looks like a lot of fun; I'm sure I will find something one of these days. I've always fancied a ratty G11. (probably shouldn't say that on a Honda forum ;D

Agree about the back light - thats Suzuki A120/ap50 i think...its got Triumph Bonneville everything else, mudguards and stays, handlebars, etc.
We had a mate that worked at a chrome platers in the 70's and he chromed the lot. Most of what you can see that is chrome should be gloss black - even the centre of the wheel rims.
With this one I'm doing both....obviously I love the styling of it as it is now and I will be renovating to as new in that style. Also I will get the original tin done properly and some spare bits like oil tank, primary case, and fork shrouds painted rather than chromed. All the time I'm riding it its stopping like it is now, but with some new stainless guards, a vapour blasting and tons of re-chroming. The Honda guards will go off to chromers with all the bits from this one.
Time to re-mortgage the house dear.....!!!! who said that..??
