Restoration of Sandcast Frame 5369/ Engine E5479
UK Pete:
Thanks Ash, talking about powder coating frames i think for our uk climate it is a good idea, i realise honda probably sprayed the early frames and very thinly at that
but i like the powder coated look, i have done my f2 and k0 with powdercoat, however i am undecided on the sandcast, perhaps i should spray it

I think I have read somewhere that the CB750's frames were coated with a very very crude early form of powder coating that's why there is the mysterious funny grey coating under the black. May have dreamt it though ::)

Hey Pete.
I would also like to join in with a congratulations on your new project. You have happily taken a lot of pictures of all your projects, unfortunately I did not and I regret it now because a part of the restaurant is also taking pictures and maybe help others.
Have you thought about were you are going to buy a new front fender to the Honda- Yamiya I'm even looking for a new front fender for my bike his is expensive but god repro..
Having written this into Google translate hope you understand this.
Only if you are interested I have a cam cover unfortunately cromed, and a brake caliper
Regards
Tony

Hi tony , I am on the look out for a caliper and front guard the yamiya front guards are to expensive,the ones from Vietnam are very poorly made, good secondhand ones are. Difficult to find so I will wait to see what turns up, I would be interested in your caliper let me know if its tokico 1 or 2 and how much you want,
It gives me great pleasure to photo every step of the restoration , and makes ne very happy that people enjoy looking

Don't agree on the Vietnam front fender Pete. I bought one unchromed and showed it to ChrisR and he said he would happily fit one to one of his bikes, so his endorsement was good enough for me. But you have to hassle 'Eric' that you want a good one and to take extra care. Those Yamiya ones are just a plain ripoff. Maybe it's because Eric thought I was a 'female' Ashley :-[ until Kerry on the SOOC put him right.
Cheers Ash
