Been Around the Block
Well, I'm back. I picked this bike up last spring and managed to update a few things on it before the riding season ended last fall. The last good riding day of the year, I decided to ride it like it had modern suspension and brakes, and the subsequent front end wash-out (those drums are neither strong nor progressive) made a few more chores for me. Just when I thought that I was getting a bit more mature in my old age... Ah, who am I kidding? I wouldn't be posting on a site called "dotheton" if I was that grown-up.
This is what it looked like before I dented the tank, bent the bars, broke a signal lens, and parked it for the winter. It's not wearing the side covers in these pics, but they look good--match the tank.
And, yeah, I know the Honda wings are on backwards. I didn't put them on that way, and I don't plan on changing them anytime soon. I have bigger fish to fry. Last year, I replaced the neck bearings with an Allballs kit, installed a new battery, new plugs, large K&N filters, rebuilt the carbs, set the points, and replaced the voltage regulator with a later model unit. More to come.
