royhall:
Well here's the decals http://www.cb-4zylinder.de/cgi-bin/shop/__Tankzierstreifen-Honda-CB-350-F-in-orange-weiss-f%FCr-roten-und-gr%FCnen-Lack__370065024391-06d_01.09.html I can do all the prep work, whats needed now is somebody with a bit of skill that can shoot red or green metallic and clear coat. Anybody.

That's worth knowing.

Not made that much progress in the last week due to illness and commitments, damn it. The engine is nearly finished, just need the polished parts fitting. Polishing is the part that I really hate doing, such a time consuming and messy job.

Finished painting the yokes and idiot lights and got them mounted in the headstock. Even took the time to grind the lettering off the top of the stainless handlebar clamp bolts and polish the heads.

Swing arm went in no problem, fitted with new phosphor bronze bushes and new lower shock mounts. The new chrome on the shocks looks really good against the shiny powder coating.

The picture from behind makes it look like the frame is bent, it's just the camera angle though honest. ::)
Got the battery/electrics/air filter box fitted. I found I've got no indicator flasher unit (something else to add to the growing list for Silvers). Also discovered that the ignition coils are damaged, does anybody know if the pattern coils that Silvers are selling at £29 plus vat are any good?

The oil pump is still missing, am waiting for a new seal kit for it that's taking a while to get to me.

That's all I managed to get done for this thrilling episode. Really need to knuckle down and get the polishing done this week. Wheels are next on the list, have found a local-ish chap that will rebuild them for £35 a wheel. Was going to learn to do them myself, hey maybe next time.
Chroming is finished (Mark at RS) and on it's way back. Will post some pictures when it arrives.
Bye for now.
