Hi all - a quick post to say hello from Hertford and show a few of my previous bikes and current projects. (piccie a the end of the post).
I've recently become the proud owner of a seized CB650 engine and box of bits (thanks Daz!) which I'm planning to put together as a "parts bin special" I'll run a separate thread on this rebuild so look out for that. It's been great to find this forum and the US one as there is obviously a lot of knowledge out there. I've already learnt a lot from the various manuals and parts fiches hosted here & - hopefully I can ask all my questions her & find the answers if I get stuck.
My first proper 'bike was a 1971 500/4. The purists amongst you may notice one or two changes from the standard spec on this one! A lovely bike, now long since sold.
More recently I've owned a CB350F - again, not totally standard but great fun to ride and always drew admiring comments.
Currently I also have a CB400 frame which is being introduced to an NC23 engine - with a view to making a Street Scrambler style 'bike. This is on hold whilst I develop my welding skills & get the 650 up and running.
Finally on the Honda front, (although not an SOHC but still a CB), I have a little CB-1 400cc which I've generously loaned to my father! Sadly, he finds it rather nippy having learnt to ride on WD BSA's and the like. His biggest problem is keeping it charged as all his riding is done in top gear and at slow speeds / low revs!
Anyway, piccies shoud appear below - hope you like them!
