    Wow gordon!! Let me be the first to say great work!! You do outstanding work! One question, what do you use for engine paint? Do you split the cases to paint it? I gotta get ideas for my custom sx restoration.


    Cheers!

    Looks really nice, very clean and simple look to it

    Being where you live, I'm sure that it's a bit harder and more time consuming to get good restore able parts. That in itself raises the respect level in your builds

    Of course everything you build is super nice anyway............

    Your 100% correct DC, this build has taken quite some time due to the fact 90% of the parts have been shipped from the US.

    A major amount of time is spent scrolling through ebay and the forum classifieds to get the right parts for restoration -Not to mention the Hondaline items!.
    This is my last resto for a while, i'm taking a break to concentrate on my other hobbies.

    Thanks for the compliments guys.

    wow bro that is AMAZING!!!! you must have spent a TON of $$$$ on that bike, being you are in the UK and bikes/parts must be hard to get and expensive to ship from here. What is your ballpark money into it? You had a really decent starting bike unless the motor was bad and bearings ets. Did you redon every bearing etc on the swingarm also?
    nice nice job , beautiful!

    little to shiny on the pipe gaurd paint

    Sorry I missed this earlier, but kudos on the build. Looks very very good. If you don't mind answering, what color paint did you use for the engine?
