Work still in progress.

Frame...old was crablike.
Swinging arm I got somewhere..can't remember.
Triple trees used from somewhere. A friend of my bro's gave me a box of CB500 bits, maybe they were in there.
Fork tubes from an F1 which were different to mine(F2 weren't available). A friend modified them to fit.
Hagon shocks.
Grab rail.
Points cover.
Alternator Honda cover.

A used rear wheel.
Speedo/Tacho chrome bottoms.
Throttle tube
Motad 4-1

Darkness:
Looking good, and progressing nearly as quickly as my 500/4!

I agree about the Flake Saphire Blue: so much nicer than the candy.   ;D

Steph550:
Wow, that's a big project you've got! Looks like she's coming on really well though, well done to you! ;D She'll be stunning when finished. 8)

Good luck!

LesterPiglet:
Got it all sorted bar the wiring and some cosmetic stuff. And now the biggy. She's running for the first time in twenty years.
