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!:beer

Looks really nice, very clean and simple look to it :beer

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 :D

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

beautiful build, but its all down hill from here. anything next to the 500r is anticlimatic :D

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. :beer

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!:beer

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?
